is it a bug that DoTs arent reduced by resistances? I wanted to try and run 200+ shadow and frost resistance in pvp but dying to one shadow word doesn’t sound very fun
Only direct-damage spells have partial resists. DOTs are all or nothing:
https://classic-wow.fandom.com/wiki/Resistance
When hit by a direct-damage spell, characters have a chance to resist 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, or 0% of the spell’s damage, depending on resistance score in relation to the level of the attacking caster.
Its been broken since launch, and I doubt blizzard will fix resists in pvp vs shadow classes.
Nothing broken about it. Suck it up.
I mean it is BROKEN. This entire game is a collection of broken bits and pieces and thats part of the charm. Blizzard just isn’t going to do anything about it because this is a 15 year old patch.

No partial resist on dot damage.
You either resist the initial application or ot lands for full damage.
