Disagree with this and other Damage over time spells being considered Debuffs. Suggesting "Damage Over Time" page in the future instead. This would go for all Damage over time spells listed as such; Simmer, Boil, Shiver, Chill, Sizzle, and Leech.

I don't completely disagree with this suggestion but I don't want too many layers of spells such as heal over time and damage over time etc.

If you have a better word for all of these "over time" events I would be up to talk about it.

Sounds reasonable. Some ideas, though wordy, are "Healing/Damage Over Time" but besides being wordy could confuse the reader into thinking simmer also heals somehow. "Over Time" seems fitting, but I could understand if another word would be preferred.

"Durational?" "Periodic?" -TalZahn

Just use something like the Effect: Progressive, then explain on the progressive page the difference between HOT/DOT, when linking just use Damage/Time or Healing/Time.

I am going to grab -all- The spells and link them at the top of the Abilities page with the corresponding spell type (Hence why I changed target to TargetAlly / TargetEnemy. I don't mind if its persistent + offensive / healing because that would work as well. We just need the right word.

I've changed the Simmer page to use the same template as the equipment does, I think it's better to keep everything more uniform as for design and appearance. This goes for monsters as well since the image being used actually looks out of place and awkward. (no offense to whoever made it) Mikau 13:07, 18 March 2011 (CDT)


Mikau we dropped that equipment template, we decided it looked back and if there is no info we have nothing to put in it. Please use the current template located at Template:Armor // Template:Monster // Template:Weapon and if you make any changes to pages PLEASE edit the existing templates instead of changing the whole page. Template:Skill - Template:SkillE this means we don't need to go back and change 100 pages.
