Question about +damage benefitsFollow

Hi guys,

Last night I spotted an interesting chest piece for my warlock that gives a +15 shadow damage as a benefit. Assuming I were to purchase and equip this item, how would the benefit be applied for DOTs?

The obvious answer is that every shadow bolt that normally does 100 damage, would now do 115 damage. But what about damage over time spells? If my DOT does say 100 shadow damage total divided up over 10 seconds (10 damage a second), how will the chest piece bonus of +15 shadow damage apply? Will I see +15 damage a second, or just +15 divided up over the 10 seconds (an extra 1.5 damage a second)? The reason why I ask is that every "tick" can be resisted, so does this mean the bonus damage can be reapplied per tick as well?

I wasent aware DoT ticks could be resisted, only the application of the DoT can be resisted, no? Yeah, its divided over the number of ticks the dot has, Corruption = 6 ticks, 15 bonus Dmg/6 ticks = +2.5 dmg per tick, of course this is with perfect coefficients(100%), which corruption does not have, so it would be 1.75-2.25 bonus dmg per tick.

Also, if you're an affliction warlock that uses Dark Pact, you will recieve back 96% of your +spell damage/+shadow damage. That means you'll drain the same amount of mana from your minion, but you'll receive a lot more.

+DMG is added to the Channeled DMG, your spell dmg is divided up over the duration of the spell then each damaging tick is affected by your +heal when the spell returns life. Siphon life I believe is only affected by +DMG.

on spells that have both a heal and a damage part it will use 50% of your bonus damage for the damage part, and 50% of your bonus healing for the healing part.
unless they changed it..
(also worth noticing, not all spells get 100% spell damage bonus, but im not sure about the drain life spell)
