Damage over time

"Damage Over Time" redirects here. For the passive skill, see Damage Over Time (passive skill).

Damage over time (often refered to as DoT) is a damage inflicted continuously over a period of time. Unlike the other three damage sources, damage over time does not hit.

Mechanics

All damage over time effects are a kind of debuff. A creature can have multiple applications of these debuffs of the same type but usually only the one with the highest damage per second works at any given time (except for poison where all applications stack cumulatively); this is true even in the case of effects applied by different players or sources.

For example, if two players each apply the ignite status ailment to the same target, only the higher damage per second of the two ignites will affect the target, at least until the higher fades and leaves the second ignite to become the new highest. In this context, two damage over time effects are to be considered the same only if they have the same name; a target may be affected by multiple effects that deal burning damage (such as Righteous FireRighteous FireSpell, AoE, Fire

On kill effects

In case of an enemy being killed by damage over time while being affected by multiple DoT effects, the kill is attributed to the owner of the effect that was inflicted first.

Damage over time kills from non-character sources like minions and totems will give the kill and any on kill effects to the owner of the totem or minion. This is a limitation of the game and not an intended game mechanic.

Damage scaling

The following modifiers will directly affect the damage over time; note that some of these modifiers apply only to the DoTs whereas some may also apply to the skill that triggered it:

• Damage over Time
• Damage
• [Damage Type] Damage (e.g. Physical Damage or Cold Damage)
• [Effect] Damage (e.g. Poison Damage or Ignite Damage)
• Trap Damage if applied by a trap
• Mine Damage if applied by a mine
• Totem Damage if applied by a totem
• Minion Damage if applied by a minion

Natively modifiers to attack damage (i.e. weapon damage, melee damage, etc.) and spell damage do not apply to damage over time effects unless specifically stated so, as observed on skills like ContagionContagionSpell, AoE, Duration, Chaos

Conditional modifiers

There are modifiers that can apply their effects only when a certain condition is met. Modifiers that are conditional on properties of the target do not affect damage over time because only hits are able to check someone else properties.

Math

• Modifiers that say increased damage over time multiplier are not additive with increased damage over time modifiers that do no include the word "multiplier".

Interactions

• "% Chance to deal double damage" will not affect damage over time, because it does not hit.
• Most damage over time snapshots.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.15.0	Gamewide Poison now does 50% more damage (taking 30% of the combined Physical and Chaos Damage, up from 20%).
1.0.2	Generic modifiers to damage dealt will now apply to damage over time that your character causes. Damage over time is not spell damage, nor attack damage, so modifiers specific to those types will not apply. Non-specific "increased damage" modifiers will apply to damage over time. Type-specific modifiers will apply as well. For example, "increased fire damage" modifiers will apply to fire damage over time.
