Just some starter spitball options that could work:
- Use a different color for DoT damage YOU cause.
> Show only YOUR DoT damage. (Allied direct damage still shown.)
- Use separate lines for each DoT damage SOURCE that YOU deal, with a small icon near each (e.g. Flaming Arrow would have a tiny flame arrow icon graphic to the left of it, as would Venomous Bite, Windbite, etc.)
- Use separate lines for each TYPE of DoT damage dealt, with small icons near each (e.g. Flaming Arrow, ShadowFlarex2, Salted Earth, Doton; Venomous Bite, Windbite, Miasma, Bio, Aero, Combust, Shadow Fang(
> Only for ground-effect damage (essentially showing how many ground effects are present on each enemy)
- Use separate lines for each TYPE of DoT damage YOU deal, with small icons near each.

- Show only damage YOU cause. Period.
