Stealther Dot's

Can't remember if its always been this way, but could a stealthier always stealth while dot is ticking? If so why does it auto remove the dot ticks, while bleeds and other poisons are still active? I get using Vanish and the reasons if that removes it then, but there have been fights where I re-dot someone before death, ticks twice, they stealth and it goes away. Total waste imo. Is this a known bug or is this some kind of wacky feature?

Dots (bleed, procs, poison, casterdots) will not keep you in combat, so you can stealth after a fight ended and the combat timer has run down.
They will still run their full duration and do full damage still

That's the issue though. After they stealth I should still be seeing "Hit target for 105 damage" or w/e your poison dmg is repeatedly. I've noticed a few times after reapplying a second dot to them and them re-stealthing, there is no dmg text. This makes me think that stealthing cures dot (bug), but the disease or WS/Con debuff and or bleeds remains.

I'm asking if anyone else as come across this?

Vanish clears all DoTs, that might be why you're seeing what you're seeing.

Vanish clears offensive dots?

Yes

Sorry, I think I miss worded my question. If an assassin puts a DoT on me and then vanishes, the DoT will be removed? If so, is that a custom change for this server?
I thought it only removed dots that are on the assassin themselves.

No, his dot will stay. Any put on him when he vanishes will be removed.

Dots on enemies do not drop away when a sneak vanishes. I know this because I use vanish to my advantage if I end up in a 1v2. If possible I will get the enemy to 1/8 and vanish while having 3 dots rolling and they usually die while I still get away from the adding 2nd enemy. Ive done this many times.

Easy way to test this is a test dummy or a duel. Dot and vanish and the dot continues to tick.

Joc- You are correct and wrong.

If Stealther (A) dots Stealther (B) and then Stealther A vanishes, and Stealther (B) remains visible, Yes the dot does not go away.

If Stealther (A) dots Stealther (B), and Stealther (B) vanishes, the dot goes away and is "cured". Might I add only the ticking dot is cured, the disease, and WS debuff will remain.

What we are wanting to know is this a Phx "feature" that was intended, or is this a Phx glitch that has yet to be worked out. Much like the bug currently with BD pet and Guards. That even vanishing pets and particular guards are still able to see you and attack. (Which is awfully annoying, and waste of a RA at times).

Yes sorry, I was referring to a non vanishing enemy. In the case of any vanish all dots are cured on the class that vanishes.

I would guess this is a feature, but its up to the devs I guess. Sins are powerful at the moment, but are in no way overpowered so I would hope its seen as a feature.

It is not a phoenix feature, it is how mythic redesigned vanish with the revamp of realm abilities for New Frontiers
