I was under the impression that all DoTs aside from ground AoEs / auras dealt damage for their full duration based on whatever buffs/debuffs were up at application, e.g. a Mutilate applied during TA would do 396 instead of 360 potency if unclipped? Could you pass a link as to what effects are or are not snapshotted? Can't seem to find anything from Heavensward on.
