Damage Over Time Is Really Strong In Path Of Exile, Here's Why

Damage Over Time Is Really Strong In Path Of Exile, Here's Why
In Path Of Exile, Damage Over Time has historically been a strong archetype, whether that be the ancient ED Contagion, to Cold DoT Elementalist or now DD Ignite, it has always been in the background because of very specific features, which I go over in this video.

What about corrupting fever with its ability to cause corrupted blood and the physical damage over time?

[@gabrielcallis8446]

Nice video, I don't even play poe but i could tell this mf spitting. Keep up the good work!

[@NoNameHQ]

appreciate the love

[@PartTimeExile]

Yea. DoT is easily one of my favorite archtypes to league start with. Its fairly easy to gear and does enough damage to get 4 watchstones. However, it feels like Poison needs some kind of nerf. Its too strong and/or easy to scale.

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

Exactly, well said.

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

Also I agree, poison has to keep the poison stacks up and as a trade off the archetype gets more damage, but on chaos or cold you have plenty of time thats completely used for nothing, where you could of done something to enhance your damage. And we dont get that at all. Its not a good balance, one archetype pumps dot cap damage and its active and the other is afk with 1/4 of the damage output.

DoT builds on necromancer is busted. Max block and free molten shell (bone armor)+ molten shell = god teir. My pro tip for PoE just play necro for what ever build you want to do.
Can face tank every mechanic without even sweating.

[@NoNameHQ]

ahhhhh a knower :p

[@Vulgaels]

Not anymore, necro gets crushed in t17s. The future is jug, chieftain, trickster and pathfinder.....unless you have a mirror

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

Dot builds have insanely good mechanics, but unfortunatelly everything is poison now. Poison is too op and needs to get nerfed, it eclipses chaos and cold extremely hard. Ignite is weaker but at least you have the elementalist ascendancy which carries and screen wide prolifs.
I would say chaos dot is actually dead. Katabasis is eh, it took me around 300 divs to make it deal 8 mil dmg, which is bad but doable, I managed to beat ubers eventually and I leaguestarted it. The skill misses scaling and more gem options. Ggg promised a cold dot rework which we didnt get, only thing they did was to retire spell cold dot and put it into a melee skill with decent QoL, but the main issues werent fixed ( primarily damage and more clearspeed, make the ground puddles bigger and keep the aoe text unchanged).

[@Theyflower]

thanks for the inspiration im gonna leaguestart essence drain in ssf next league now 🫡 (thats a lie its gonna be wave of conviction ignite ele that transitions into ek once i get the right gear)

[@Theyflower]

patch notes please give something for ED

[@PartTimeExile]

@@Theyflower Im currently doing a series 80 in 30 where I play Essence Drain Desperation as a Trap along with Contagion Trap to maintain Frenzy Chrages. Its not bad.

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

Lmao yeah chaos spells are dead, we need some sort of rework maybe
