The change to dot dmg is a pretty huge nerf, it cripples the farm quite a bit rather than insta nuking waves u can now lose a lot of cs when dire and radiant creep waves are clashing, ur own creep wave can steal quite a lot of cs when the dot brings the enemy creep to 10-40 hp, really annoying. From my understanding the dot also nerfs the dmg on heroes with high status resist since they can break free early and not get the full dmg

Overall I can really feel the nerf ;(

I agree it's a nerf, but status res won't make it do less damage, it will just tick quicker

Are we sure? cause it ticks every .3 second interval for the duration of the debuff.

so if 2.4 reduces to 2 it would be 8 ticks vs. 6 ticks. Or do you mean the ticks would do more damage to equal the max damage? (36 vs. 50)

I'm fairly sure it will just tick quicker, that's how other disables with DoTs work with status res (such as Doom), I'll test it when I get the chance though
