Hi im a mage, i was wondering why when i blink behind a mage winding up a pyro it cancels but when i do that to a lock while he is casting fear i still get feared
So are all other dots without any initial dmg (so that excludes Immolate) I think.. (not being a warlock myself) - Seeing how unstable affliction is the only dot with casting time you have I might aswell say that UA doesnt depend on LoS either.
I do believe that Death Coil is NOT omidirectional. I tried all my dots with may back to the target, and only Death Coil failed (Or was it Shadowburn?)
I don't personally consider d/c a "dot" - although you do get "two?" ticks of hp for the duration? It's more like a fearing/healing shadowbolt *shrugs*.
Besides, imo an omni-directional d/c seems a little overpowered; also unneeded. I'd rather have one that cuts through a Rogue's CoS.
