Resilience will now affect DoTs

In the next major content patch, the combat rating, resilience, will also reduce the damage dealt by damage over time (DoT) effects. As it currently stands, each new tier of equipment adds to the amount of damage DoT abilities have, yet that damage is not mitigated through combat ratings found on typical equipment. This change will help ensure that DoT effects do not scale too well compared to other damage mechanics.

The amount of damage reduced will be equal to the critical chance reduction effect that resilience grants.
Thanks a lot QQers. Guess I'll be speccing Destruction after all, haha.

Resilience is a stupid stat that should never have been made. Blizz needs to stop trying to make it work.

Oh and i bet you ALL the money in the world that they'll nerf mortal strike in the next major content patch. So ****ing lame. QQ'ers are ruining this game, imo.

Like I was saying in Vent yesterday when I was told about this; they need to reduce ALL damage then, because DOT'S DON'T CRIT!

That's what they'll do, Jayde. l2read :p

I agree of this, it was freaking dumb that rogues and mages were completly nerfed on arenas. We depend on crits, resilience is teh suck.

That's not what it says, Tronga. It doesn't reduce non-crit damage, it targets DoT's, which is the only kind of damage an affliction lock does, thus scrapping 2/3 of a warlocks potential damage. There's a difference between being OP and completely ****ing useless.

Warriors are currently the most overpowered class in every aspect of PvP and you're whining. GTFO.

They seriously better be making DoT's crit now, or else this doesn't even make sense..

You're 51. There is no resiliance gear that early. In fact, res is only a thing that matters is at 70. Which you'll never get with that char. So why bother makin this thread at all?

Actually, I think it has a percentage of chance to reduce the damage (read somewhere in the forums). Not sure, though.
