Spell/Skill SPeed will affect DoTs in 3.0 Heavensward

[ShinryuReishiki]

The Japanese simply says that overall DoT damage will increase, so I'm wondering how Speed will actually affect it; will it be more ticks or will it simply increase damage per tick like a second Determination...

あくまで例ですが、DoTに対して効果を及ぼすようになる、などです。たとえばスペルスピードが高ければ、そのぶんDoTダメージの威力が上がり、全体的なダメージ量が底上げされます。まだ調整中ですので明言は避けたいですが、これだけを見ても、スペルスピードの重要性がかなり高まるので、各ジョブでの重要パラメータには変化があると思ってください。

The Japanese says explicitly, "just as an example, it will have an effect on DoTs. So for example the higher your spell speed is, the more damage your DoTs deal, raising the overall damage total. We're still making adjustments so I don't want to give specifics, but just by this example you can see that the importance of spell speed is getting quite a boost. So we can say that all the jobs' important stats will see changes."

Right, but it also says it isn't set in stone yet, so who knows?

DoTダメージの威力 -> the potency of the DoT damage

Which translated from FFXIV's peculiar but consistent word choices means potency of DoT ticks.

It may simply refer to the Dot's overall damage, so with high SS the dot will do more damage since it ticks more times

I doubt it... We are talking about DoT ticks here, does it really matter if it ticks more often or simply does more damage? I can't even see the small DoT damage flying text during fights, so I wouldn't even be able to tell...

If it was just a simple thing to do, then they might as well have made it tick more times, but it seems that is a much bigger change than you might think.

They wouldn't really be able to keep having the ticks go by the global clock, because it would be too complex I think. Also, there would be weird SS caps for getting an extra tick or something.

I'm no expert on this at all, but since they went with the global clock in the first place, there must be some reason they don't want to have individual clocks for every player(not sure what I'm talking about lol)
