If you hard refresh sw during Icehowls stun phase does it lock in the +x% damage for the duration on the fight as long as you don't let it fall off and only soft refresh?

The debuff just gives a flat increase to any damage Icehowl takes. You won't get any benefit from rolling a SWP put on him when stunned compared to otherwise. Kinda like a bleed effect on a target that has the mangle debuff fall off of it mid-bleed. The ticks of the bleed that hit while mangle is up will do 30% more damage, but after it falls off they do normal damage.
% damage buffs on YOURSELF will last as you reapply SW:P, such as shadowweaving and thaddius charges. Debuffs on a boss it doesnt matter however.

My God, what a horrible creation. People seeing what they want? Thank God they tried to shy away from that. I know it pisses me off when I'm in an heroic raid, yet in the back of my head all I can think is 'some casual player is playing a heroic dungeon and not wiping.' -Vodkarn
thats not true at all. totem of wrath is a debuff, and so is scorch, curse of elements? theres lots of debuffs that affect SWPOriginally Posted by VonGimli
a self debuff by the boss will not continue to affect the dots damage after the debuff is finshed. Class debuffs is a different story tbh >.>Originally Posted by rimmer

The problem with this, Chronalis, is that Shadow Word: Pain has been shown to work quite differently due to the half-assed encoding on the refresh mechanic.Originally Posted by Chronalis

short answer , no it will not hold the increased amount from the stun for the duration of the fight. In fact refreshing your Dots during his stun is a bad idea all together because that time is better spent using Mind Blast on cooldown. Using Flay and even SWDeath are your best bets.Originally Posted by savethetunas
