DOTs and preventing player from capturing point

I happen to love DoTs affecting capping even if it frustrates me, I can do it to them so what's the problem?

You also bring the counter to that effect in Tox Scan. But then the overall state of the class means there aren't alot of operatives on the scene to counteract us.

PvP mechanics should not be adjusted for lack of skill/intelligence.

Effectively removing cleanse from PvP is not a solution when playing better will solve the problem.

better raid frames would help this

Wait wait, my DoTs can defend nodes for me? What spec is that?

Wrong. COrrosive Grenade and Dart can be removed via cleansing. It neuters one entire spec of Operative/Sniper and their mirrors.

You give the most worthless replies. First you claimed DoTs interrupt all abilities, and now this gem

If you die and there is no one defending...you should lose the node. Its that simple. Its the basic fundamentals of the WZ.

The problem here is not dots preventing point capping. People plant bombs all of the time. The biggest issue is a lack of teamplay. I was in a voidstar match today where myself and one other person were defending a door against most of the other team at one point. Naturally we were chain stunned and focused down while the guy was saying over chat defend east. The rest of the team was busy defending west against...ONE person. Death-match mentality is the problem not dotting.

So... let me some up the main points:

FOR DoTs not interrupting caps;
- It is unfair that you can destroy someone 1v1 at a base, and not be able to cap for 18 seconds because they pressed the DoT before they died.
- It is more unfair that the person can then return to the point and proceed to DoT you again easily in this duration.
- Not all classes can cleanse, which makes the opposing argument null.
- Bleeds are not able to be cleansed, which makes the opposing argument null.
- There is no skill in solo defending a base indefinitely by DoT-Tab-DoT-Tab-DoT-Tab-DIE- Repeat

AGAINST DoTs not interrupting caps:
- It is a legitimate tactic and people who can't cap because of it are bads
- The DoT-Tab etc. tactic requires skill
- Learn 2 cleanse
- It will make the game more like WoW
- Might aswell just remove cleanse and DoTs from game
- Skilled people can just nuke down the person/people casting DoTs before they actually cast DoTs


Think I summed it up well enough? Decide for yourself what the most convincing argument is.

Im fine with DOTs but they should go away if the player that gives them dies. Just chalk that up to another thing that BW got wrong.
