Soul Well uses the same formula, so this change affects it, though its duration was already correct at 10 ticks.

Lets do healing per tick. I have no buffs other than Jboots and Demi Lich on. Here's some of the ticks I am getting:

866, 846, 846, 826, 806 - Appears to be -20 a tick. With Demi Lich at -32 a tick, and standing Iksar regen at +12, this conforms to what we'd expect.

Now I am in EC, and I am going to use the staff on a Bear. Like all lifetap dots, the recourse remains after the creature is dead, so the low level of the creature doesn't matter.

606. Casting Soul Well.
586
566 - Soul Well Lands
557 - Tick one, -9.
560 - Tick two, +3
575 - Tick three, +15
602 - Tick four, +27
641 - Tick five, +39
692 - Tick six, +51
755 - Tick seven, +63
830 - Tick eight, +75
917 - Tick nine, +87
1016 - Tick ten, +99.
-Expires-
996
976

Those are the values of my HP at each tick through a Soul Well. The first tick that included a heal was the 566 to 557 tick. Since it should have been 546 (-20), but it was just 557, that means it ticked only -9 (meaning the heal was +11).

The last tick before expiration was 917 to 1016, which is healing of 99 on top of the 20 hp lost, so 119 HP gained on the last tick.

These numbers appear to be consistent with the damage from Soul Well, so it doesn't appear the rumor is accurate. Soul Well is not healing for the final tick on each tick.

This is an issue well worth bumping.

[eisley]

Agreed. A very plain, very prominent, (presumably) easily fixable problem. The 7 tick poison DoT's have driven me nuts in particular. As a pvp shaman back in the day, I am very, very... sure that those DoTs were 8 ticks. And 9 ticks 100% of the time when cast on myself, apparently. Odd.

Anecdotal, but jumping on the concensus.

[koros]

This needs a double bump. On top of the overall dot too short problem it's straight up a tick too short still.
