DoTs in PVP still do not work!

[rpgthegreat]

When will Devs get DoTs working in pvp again? This is very annoying when over half of your attacks do no damage whatsoever or only half their damage in pvp. This has been like this for a very long time, any ETA when it will work again devs?

DOH!

Guess I better stop using them.

[david99]

Everyone bug it, this should be a top priority fix.

[Morbob]

any chance of a Dev comment?

I know PvP issues are low on the list, but this bug pretty much negates a number of classes on the PvP server. Might as well just have my mez ability and sprint ability on the hotbar :D

As serious as this issue is, I wish a dev would reply to this thread and acknowledge it. It keeps getting booted ot of the first 15 threads, and I can't figure out how to view older threads. No page numbers on these forums.

Never mind, I found it; it was hidden at the very top right.

I dont understand why no one thinks this is a huge priority. This effectively makes psionists and druids, and any other classes that rely on dots alone completely innefective in pvp. We are free kills right now.

Your not a druid are you? Last I got hit by a druid dot they seemed to be doing the full 4k dmg. Everyone else's suck though agreed. However, its not a "HUGE" priority because like 90% of the game isnt fixed yet.

I have a level 10 druid, a level 13 psionist, and a level 25 cleric. Not one of my druid or psionist's dots do any damage. Sure, they icon shows up under the person's name, but their health never goes down, and it doesn't record the damage under the combat log. It is not a bar glitch because my direct damage spells lower the health of the player. Sure, I could sit there and cast lightning bolt over and over again but come on, my root does a big dot, i have 2 other spells that are mostly dots and my only finisher is a dot.

Dots were working before in pvp, but if you died to a dot then you didn't get credit. That was annoying, but not too big of a deal. However, turning dots off completely in pvp is freaking insane. It makes pvp almost impossible for a few classes.

Was pretty sure the druid finisher was raping the shit out of me for maximum damage last time someone hit me with it. Unless they borked dots this week sometime?

[rpgthegreat]

I am not sure when it happened, but I even went as far as to get a friend and test it. I cast a few of my dots on him, and he told me his health never went down. I just got done being owned by a level 9 ranger as a level 10 druid because i could only use lighting bolt which keeps getting intterupted, or my instant dmg spell that i can only use once every 8 seconds, and 1/4 of it's damage doesn't work either because it is a dot.

[rpgthegreat]

Sigh, I just realized that this thread got moved to the PVP forum, where it will never be read. Devs could care less about pvp and are more focused upon diplomacy and what a super high end weapon looks like and what proc it has.

There are 530,000 characters in Vanguard.

81,000 of those characters are on one of the two PVP servers.

That is 15% of the games population.

There are 1,500 players level 40 and above in the entire game across all servers. That is 0.2% of the total population.


Now tell me, which should be a higher priority, a high end weapon that probably 30 people have, if that, or DoTs not working in PVP, which affects 15% of the total game population?

3 PvP servers, dont forget us across the pond :p

Would love to see a dev acknowledge this, main reason being that because its a PvP issue Im worried itll be put on the back burner.

It does effect a lot of people making a core part of their game unplayable. Even a "yes we know about it, we hope to address it in a couple of weeks" would be fine. Just any sort of feedback.

[Rap]

We will not get a reply and/or a fix. The pets have been bugged on the servers since day one. No reply, and/or fix will be incoming ever. We have to live with it because we are the red headed step children of the MMO community.

Who knows we might get lucky with a response.

No, we will not get a reply, 15% of their subscriber base are on pvp servers, and yet they are crapping all over them.

Well, it's more than we had before. I'm satisfied to the point that I'll stop crucifying people.

lol, Im with you. any type of acknowledgement is better than the scary silence we've had so far.

Guess Im happy with the fact that the know about it, it isn't intentional and the plan to do something about it. When its fixed is a totally different story, but it's better than naught.

[Burchwood]

cant wait til its fixed, i have a long list of people that i have been running from to hunt down

the dark period in time that will fill tharridons server will be known as: PSI's REVENGE

meeting in /mind brothers

Thanks you Sigil, finally...


So, question. What does this now do for necros and especially shamans in PVP?

My understanding was that Shamans were already one of THE best PVP classes hands down in terms of killing+survivability. This is when their DoTs were not working...now they will be. Hmmm..do the math anyone?

Necro pets at level 20+ are AT MOST 2 shotting players from what I've heard. Level 40+ pets are incredibly disgusting even moreso. DoTs now work for necros. This makes a necro incredible at pvp now.

Also I read that the sorcerer's chaos volley is getting nerfed. Now it will only go to x10 mod which might benefit PVE, but thats a HUGE hit for PVP.

/emote ditches level 20 sorcerer
/emote rolls a shaman or necro
/emote logs into Varrking for some fun
/emote stops whining

/whine off

[Fairweather]

How many greater than 10x shots were you really setting up in pvp already? And will a 10x shot really not do the trick for you?

[skyfoxx]

just as an fyi...melee dots work and caster ones dont atm...i know mine helped me kill a 48 druid while i was a 43 monk...it was a preplanned pvp battle..i wanted him to try and heal through my dps, he put up his damage shield that normally kills me in its own, by my dot ticking for 1549 per tick kinda ment i wtf pwned him!! so ya, melee works not casters...some show the tick but arent really doing the damage, mine actually do the damage..i also tested it by droppin group and dotting my clereic when he kept being slept when my group was being alter camped

So you rolled one of the most abusive classes for PVP and are somehow upset by bugs that don't even affect you directly? Necromancer pets are broken, just like DOTS were broken and will hopefully get addressed soon. Then it will once again be you 2 shotting people with your Sorceror.. :rolleyes: Oh, and maybe Paladins because their Dictum of Valus is broken too causing ridiculous damage.
