The DoT is even easier than it was originally. It's no longer necessary to run to remove the DoT, it seems to last 2-3 ticks and that's it. I don't even bother healing myself through it.
Seems to be set duration as stated above, even if you do try to move out of it, it doesn't remove it. I liked that fact you could actually move out of it before.
I like the fact that the blind reminds me that I have the DoT on -- running around as a Cleric chain healing was sort of annoying, or if you were up on the top levels and fall off (even with levi on) you're gonna need to run back.
It's not bad at all, but I liked being able to do something to get out of it. Now, no matter what you do, you get hit with it for the duration (albeit short duration). Either way, I'm glad the bug is fixed.
