To start off if I misunderstood what I read about Damage over time and cast speed my bad.
So the question is should Cast speed affect Dot's in anyway besides letting you cast the spell that causes the Dot faster.
Here is an example of how it could interact increased cast speed increases how fast the Dot's damage applies it self. Ex. A Dot applies 1 damage at 1 second intervals, you then add a gauntlet with 20% increased attack speed. This results in 1 damage every 0.8 seconds.
I get that once you cast the spell and Dot's are applied your no longer casting technically, and I know there are some uni's/mods that change how dots apply themselves. I just wanted to make a discussion and see how people think.
Thank you for making it to the end and reading what's inside my head, good luck with the grind.
