What does DoT mean in World of Warcraft?

World of Warcraft has many different types of damage and abbreviations, but perhaps one of the most commonly used is DoT. DoT stands for “damage over time.” This is used to describe an ability that puts a debuff on a target, continuously dealing damage to it for a set period of time as opposed to dealing all of its damage instantly. Frequently spoken as “dots,” damage-over-time effects can be physical or magic. Physical DoTs can come in the form of bleeds, which are common among warriors, rogues, and feral druids.

On top of nerfs to these three specializations, Blizzard is also bringing down the nerf bat onto the new PvP trinket, Unchained Gladiator’s Shackles.

The best Shadow Priest talents and build in WoW Shadowlands

Priests are the only class in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands with two healing specializations. This comes with the cost that they have only one DPS specialization at their disposal: Shadow. In both player-vs-player (PvP) and player-vs-environment (PvE) encounters, the specialization is highly sought after due to its great damage and utility for teammates. While Shadow Priests weren’t accepted widely by dungeons, raids, or arena members at the beginning of the season, the spec became much stronger once players got some more gear and received multiple nerfs to bring its power

WoW TBC Classic: Healer tier list (PvE)

The release of WoW TBC Classic made it so both the Horde and Alliance have access to Shamans and Paladin.  During Classic, each class’s healing specialization was powerful, but only being available to one faction made it difficult to compare the two. Now with Blood Elves bringing Paladins to the Horde and Draenei bringing Shamans to the Alliance, a whole new world of compositions are available. For healers, this will mean more diversification as Alliance raids look to bring in numerous Restoration Shamans and Horde groups look to grab one or

WoW TBC Classic: DPS Tier List (PvE)

A flurry of changes going into World of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic is set to make a variety of classes significantly more viable than they were for the past two years in Classic. Many specializations that were previously considered to be a “meme” have been revamped in ways that make them playable in end-game content, even if they don’t have the best throughput. With raids in TBC being cut down from 40 to 25-man instances, every slot will be more important and raid compositions will differ greatly from Classic. Instead
