I’ll post here what I suggested in the other tread.
Should dot damage of channeling skills (DE, AAR, FoI) be transferred to their flat part?
DE deals 3 Aether damage and 10 Vitality Decay over 2 seconds on the first level.
This could be changed to:
DE deals 3 base flat + 5 (1 sec damage from dot component) = 8 aether damage only on the first level.
