Mages and my dots

[Prothean]

Has anyone else noticed when dotting up mages, be it with corruption, UA or even immolate, it drops off before it's full duration? Sometimes even with over half it's duration left to tick. Is there some sort of magic reduction talent or dispel mages have that I didn't know about? Anyone wanna explain?

Mage Armor?

Ice Block?

Fire Ward?

Mages CAN remove curses.

[Prothean]

I think I'd notice if it was any of those things I'm not that stupid lol, no iceblocks, absorbs, wards, nothing. I didn't mention curses at all so I don't know how you thought of that, it's magic that they seem to "dispel", or atleast make them drop off before their full duration.

Most likely Mage Armor;

Increases your resistance to all magic by 40 and allows 50% of your mana regeneration to continue while casting. In addition, the duration of all harmful Magic effects used against you is reduced by 50%. Only one type of Armor spell can be active on the Mage at any time. Lasts 30 min.

Mage Armor reduces the duration of all negative magical effects on the mage by 50%, that is why your DoTs are only lasting half the length they normally do.

Well he said he isn't stupid and more importantly he said they drop off before their full duration so I presume he means hes aware of the 50% duration decrease and that for him they dropped of earlier than that.
Anyhow, no I havent noticed that. You might have some addonmalfucntion, check their debuffs under their portrait instead.

Mage Armor at least from my experience is not commonly used, so it is entirely possible that they were either unaware of it, or at least of that particular effect.

[Bakis]

Not commonly used as default no but alot of mages swap to it in lets say a 1v1 situation with a warlock in a bg.

[Prothean]

I use DoT Timers for arena, I am aware of mage armor and it's effect on magic. I think the problem is my current version doesn't register it though, and is displaying my dots as though they will tick for their full length.

[ComputerNerd]

That is possible certainly if you do not keep the mage as a target for the duration.
I am not sure if it is able to detect them falling off when no longer targeted.
