I found this in my daily travels under a discussion on whether aoe spells were overpowering:

Yes, they ruin the game.

Whoever thought up AOE DOT's that can crit was insane. They are the worst, most overpowered, and most unbalancing thing in the game.

end quote:

Right, sure they are, and thats why I had 20 dots running for about 2  minutes last night, and never saw a single RP for any of it.  Not a single person I hit died, from a dot, OR from one of my realm mates.  You'd think if im dishing out so much overpowering unbalanced damage, I'd get at least one kill?  

Not to mention, the most overpowering thing in the game? Right behind AOE Stun, AOE mez, see hidden, assassins, or beserkers....

Get in line idiots.

hehe yea, i can think of a couple things that im a little more afraid of then the AE DOT's

Not sure of whether there AOE Dots and not aggreeing with this person either but the other realm dots can be very nasty for a caster especially with there realm ability to do double damage from them. Stealth and instas are the two worst things IMO :)

I don't think aoe dot is overpowered.  It can be very powerful and it can be countered easily, assuming your healers are quick.  

This same line of reasoning is what got smite clerics nerfed... to think, it was our own realm mates, too sad.

A lot of the AE dot whining comes from Lancelot, where the alb zerg is usually 3x or more the size of the other realms' zergs. Not sure if they have the power relics.

Zergs also frequently lack any kind of healing and so dots can do some real damage in those scenarios. In typical standoffs and 8v8 the ae dots aren't all that dangerous.
