It can have a negative impact (literally lowering your dps) as DoTs are unaffected, and are your most efficient skills. Furthermore, your buff timers are unaffected, leading to greater clipping of buffs like GL.

Let me stress that this is a very, VERY minor effect, and won't even matter until you get bone dry, but SS DOES lead to TP inefficiency and therefore DPS loss if TP is the constraint.

Because the creators of this game STILL haven't made SS affect resource generation, because they are ridiculous. This is one fact I won't back down from.

EDIT: oops, I just realized I replied to something way back when instead of on the last page.

Oh well D= Merry christmas!
