Let's be honest.
The destiny community does not take DOT too kindly which is why I think DOT on weapons in PvP shouldn't be a thing.
However in PvE, it would add an unerring advantage if applied to weapons.
The best way to re introduce DOT in destiny is this.
Race specific DOT perks that stack like thorn, but of course do more damage since thorn is still y1.
Cabal Poisoner: "The cabal will take poison damage for a small amount of time"
Fallen toxicant: "The fallen will take poison damage for a small amount of time"
Worms bane: "The hive will take poison damage for a small amount of time"
This would create a more varied load out since they could be stronger for certain situations.
I'd love to know what you think, and maybe if you have an idea to improve upon mine go ahead and let us know.
EDIT: changed the whole idea of the thread because earlier feedback.

No. Just no. No primaries should ever have dot. Everyone would abuse this in crucible claiming they good. And not to mention they already spam firebolts that last forever which is ridiculously op and needs a nerf.

PvE=Yes PvP=Drink Bleach

Or just make a change to the wording of current DoT and add "to minions of the darkness" at the end. Problem solved, no more pvp DoT and we can add more guns w it into pve
-
yeah more shit perks ..... for more shit rng drops poisen your unshilded little enemys ... thats the way
-
speak for yourself I am fine with DoT in PvP it means shield regen, and using strategies other than 'charge!' become relevant.

Edited by Enderium: 5/21/2016 8:55:05 PMGood idea, however I'd change it to race specific poisons, ie. Emperor's Bane, Scavenger's Fate, Worm Poison(?), Taken Pyre (burn effect), and Time-Killer's Favor.

Make for races instead of specific classes, other wise good idea.

Why? Only bosses and certain high level majors and ultras really have enough HP to make DoTs even worth it. DoT in general are unnecessary in this game and the best use I've ever found for burn even, is keeping Crota's shield from regenerating long enough to shoot him in the face with a rocket after a grenade.

I like the idea but how about DOT for whole races such as fallen bane.
-
Good idea tbh.
