If it matters, my love for Renorka remains unchanged.

-Abilities can now trigger off of DoT ticks, such as Quick Escape. This is consistent with the original game's behavior.

-DoT abilities now can be dodged, disrupted, parried or blocked on a per tick basis. If the first attack is disrupted/dodged/parried/blocked, no subsequent DoT ticks will happen. This includes parry's positional requirement. Each tick will take into consideration an avoidance check, and facing the target is no exception to this rule.
So yeah, things changed and it made them worse.

Here with said gnashing and wailing:

It doesn't make sense in any environment outside of solo play, given that there are damage classes who rely an incredible amount on dots (magus and dps am). I could write an essay further expanding on this, but I'll pass and instead say hi to renork:)

There was a reason why I dropped detaunt on the live server and post 1.4.x Magus detaunt was broken and only worked once in a blue moon.
