I’m sure you’re all happy to know that I’ve had a “Saul on the road to Damascus” epiphany in the shape of monolith Lagon & his eye beam & am now batting for the other team.
You can now put me down for 1 in the “dots should be sustained damage that is slow & steady rather than bursting you down faster than a flat earther visiting Australia for the first time (& wondering why they can’t see Polaris)”. Though this is an issue with DoT skills in general (Lagon’s eye beam, Rahyeh’s beam & yes, the Soul Cage’s breath) rather than the Soul Cage in particular.
