Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Dervy]

DoTs aren't increasing in speed. It's just their damage. Was confirmed via an audio recording in the Media Heavensward thing they did in France.

I haven't seen anywhere with it stated that the crit stat will effect both crit potency and rate. IMO that would be much too powerful as you are correct in the exponential scaling.

I suspect it would be something like a set 50% crit rate (this would allow for linear balancing for things like Bloodletter procs) with Crit ONLY effecting critical damage. So basically just reversing it from Crit damage = +50% with crit effecting your rate.

Preliminary Patch Notes.

[2.0] Player attributes have been adjusted as follows:
Skilspeed and spellspeed now affect damage over time and healing over time effects.
The effect of determination on auto-attacks has been reduced.
Critical hit rate now affects damage dealt with a critical strike.
Certain attributes no longer affect parry or block.

Very broad wording indeed... And 50% flat CRT would be too broken. BLMs having a 50/50 chance to smash targets for 6k damage with Fire IV?. Lmao

Yeah, the NA wording is pretty vague then. Will have to check it out when the game goes live, but +Crit Rate and Damage seems so broken, unless it scales extremely slow. Which negatively effects skills that rely on crit procs, and not necessarily the increased crit damage.

50% flat crit wouldn't be too bad.

Base Crit would be a 50% chance at 5% more damage. (instead of 5% chance at 50% more damage)
