as per title mostly; this is a question to verify smthg.
Yes, I know, Aether and chaos do not have DoT-version associated with them, BUT it seems that Skills, which tick by themselves cause those damagetypes to pseudo-dot with every tick.
Is that assumption correct?
Through grim internals it does at least look like it and would make sense…
a pseudo dot is just when flat dmg ticks at intervals
true dot is specific dmg types, burn, poison, bleed, etc etc etc etc
any of the “tick skills” with flat dmg, you can just convert into your preferred dmg type and you now have a X dmg type pseudo dot
Word of Pain is a pseudo dot (debuff)
Devouring Swarm has pseudo dot and true dot
if you then convert those skills with pseudo dots, ex WoP, then you now have a chaos or aether pseudo dot
i did a pierce dmg Storm Box for instance - obv lose the electrocute, but the flat dmg on main node and tether was still pierce dmg ticks
Symbol of Solael is a chaos pseudo dot
BWC has part native chaos pseudo dot
etc etc etc
