Had enough of the dot nerf already

Get your facts straight sir. There was never a dot nerf in live in the classic game. Having actually played(unlike some of the people bouncing on the - this was in live - bandwagon) during live there was never a nerf to dots until late Luclin and that was only to certain spells. If THIS were the case, why would people be snare kiting things as a druid? I played a necromancer on live and played it almost exclusively off of dot kiting, there was no nerf, and I have no idea where this came from.

I did play live, as a druid, until lvl 52 on the druid. Quit shortly after Luclin came out, spent most of my time in kunark and then velious. This is exactly how dots worked during that time, and I was very well aware of it. If the mob was not feared, specifically, the mob took only 66% damage from dots. Druids that kited cried about it (including myself). I eventually started quad kiting, which doesn't use dots, but AoE DD's instead. I was much happier.

This never affected Necros much because it doesn't affect fear kiting. You should do some research and get your facts straight before jumping on the hate of those who jump on the it was this way in live bandwagon! (lol does that make sense)
