This will add up to monstrous damage. If they keep the damage as at the very least expect 10-20k per tick at highest levels.
Uhm...that's definitely not more than slightly. Check your DPS charts again. If NLs are doing, let's say, 280k DPS at Lv. 200, do you think a 10-20k addition (remember, DoT occurs per SECOND) will really change the tables all that much? The answer is no.
That's the same concern I have with stackable DoT for LOLFPs. Sure, inflicting both burn and poison on bosses might be great, but if it increases my previously calculated 11.5m DPM to 12.5m DPM, I still suck. The bottom line is, like I said in another thread, we need BIG DoT damage for it to be worthwhile. Like 25k a tick for both poison and burn, so 50k a second stacked.
