Механика ДОТ 4.х.х

[S_Pam]

1. Механика ДОТ
2. При обновлении доты НЕ запоминается время между её тиками, а обновляется целиком вся ДОТа.
3. С патча 4.0.1 для ДОТ добавлена особенность - запоминание времени между тиками доты при ее обновлении.
Тема повтор, но в другом разделе особого внимания ей разработчики не придают.

DoT Refreshing
Another change made to DoTs in 4.0 is how DoTs behave when being reapplied or refreshed. Basically if a DoT is refreshed between the 2nd last and last tick, the DoTs duration will be extended to include the last tick. For example:

Unstable Affliction (uneffected by haste) has a 15 second duration, dealing damage every 3 seconds (5 ticks). If you refresh Unstable Affliction at 13 seconds (2 seconds till the last tick) the new Unstable Affliction applied to the target will have a duration of 20 seconds and will tick 6 times.

What this means is that you can 'clip' a DoT without losing the last tick of that DoT (and the damage that last tick provides), making it much easier to have a 100% uptime on all DoTs. One thing to note is that if a DoT is refreshed using this method then the last tick inherits the stats of the new DoT (See 'DoTs, Buffs and Debuffs').
