Everything that isn't a DoT is Direct Damage. It's not related to the type of damage (physical, spiritual,...) or type of ability (curse, hex,...)

Rune of Immolation is a dot (damage over time) and Efficient Runecarving works with direct (insta) damage abilities like Rune of Striking or Rune of Fire - however since lifetaps cannot crit using efficient runecarving / arcing power is mediocre at best.

As for damaging / hex / whatever: it's to do with class-specific dmg type and ability to cleanse those by opposition.

The point of Oathrunes is to give your partymember 60min buff (and some warband setups like to use oathrunes / zealot marks for coordinated aoe dmg). Buff fist, worry about fluff dmg second

Lifetaps cannot crit??
Why the hell is that??

I thought the damage part could crit no?

Effect of the great hybrid healer nerf aka shammie rework patch. Sure, dmg can crit but since we're talking about a healer class using a tactic to heal with dps skills (hybrid healing) we should be interested in healing aspect of it (healed for 50% of the dmg dealt). Since lifetaps cannot (heal) crit you loose a lot of healing potential that could keep your teammates up with dps skills alone (maybe with one or two occasional hots thrown in).

IMO now it's good for the +10 strikethrough component only and a wasted tactic slot outside of dps solo roaming build.

OP deleted his question from this topic so I guess it's no longer relevant - thread can be scrapped.
