Some damage over time spells in the game still have problems, and I think they should be reviewed. Problems are:

 

-damage not matching the description

-damage not being influenced by enemy DR

-damage not being influenced by elemental talents like Scion of Flame/Spirit of Decay

 

I'm not sure if this is a general DoT issue, the spells I looked at were Brilliant Radiance, Autumn's Decay and Shining Beacon.

 

For example Autumn's Decay with a 10 might Druid says 30 damage in the description and appears to deal 42 damage irrespective of DR. Adding the Spirit of Decay talent had no influence. Similarly the damage from Brilliant Radiance was not influenced by Scion of Flame.

I agree, DoTs are still bugged.

A minor addition to this issue, I noticed damage from DoTs doesn't appear to be counted in the character damage record on the character sheet.
