Shaman advice - Malise?

[stebbins99]

DoTs that have the direct damage component can definitely break your roots / cause root-rotting woes. This holds true regardless if you Malaise or not!

That said, Malaise definitely makes a difference in terms of whether or not a spell gets resisted to begin with. Here's a thread from Tecmos: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=340546

Thanks for the tips/advice so far.

Got this from the tecmos post:

"they've been done on a mob 5 levels below me that is not resist debuffed (since I pull with malaise, and malaise doesn't lower disease resist)"

I was really evaling resists based on my disease dots so that makes a lot of sense.

The new disease DOT does 30 damage on application so I wonder if that has anything to do with it as well. Is there a general knowledge about whether a higher damage nuke will be more likely to break root vs a lower damage one?
