    i have a question about + damage items and their effects on DoTs. i have several + damage items. they have effects like symatry II and bolt of energy IV. does the + damage affect each tick of the DoT or just the first tick?

    adds damage to every tick but the damage is divided by 5 then also normalized to casting time.

    The way I understood it, it was only to the first tick/initial DD of the spell, not per tick. I'm not positive though.

    now that i'm home and logged in i examined a spell before and after wearing the + damage gear. i have a total of +45 damage and it looks like it's dividing it between every tick of the DoT.

    Yup, it gives you the same extra damage per spell so for a DoT it gets divided by the number of ticks.

    Yeah the +damage gets spread evenly over the DoT ticks, but it assumes that the DoT ticks 5 times. It is also normalised against the casting speed of the DoT so quick ones like the rot line will recieve less fo a damage bonus.
