Lingering Nightmares

[Zuzaa]

I have a question dealing with this talent.

 

LN states that it increases the duration of Crushing darkness by Y amount of seconds

 

CD states that it does X amount of damage over Y seconds

 

Does this mean that CD will do less damage per tick but tick for Y seconds longer

 

or

 

Does this mean that CD will do the same damage per tick but tick for Y seconds longer

 

If the first is correct, then why would anyone want to do the same damage, but drag it out over a longer period of time. It would seem that you would want any DoT to do as much damage in the shortest amount of time. Any reply would help, and thank you in advance.

I believe it increases the damage accordingly, so you get two extra ticks. Otherwise it would be a very stupid skill, same deal with exsanguinate.

I just wanted to make sure.......

I am about to toss some points into that skill I hope it adds an extra tic of dmg if it doesn't then it should be changed to "Decreases the Cool Down of Crushing Darkness by Y seconds" and the name to Jarring Nightmares

It adds ticks. The tooltip for CD won't update, it'll still show it doing the same damage (over more time), but it does in fact add additional ticks without decreasing the damage each tick does (so more total damage). Exsanguinate works the same way.
