Dots

Is this the class who is the most about damage over time?

In the first place speaking from pvp point of view.

Not at all, the poison stacks it's not a damage DoT, it's mainly an utility debuf to restealth and boot damage of certain skills

Poison does deal damage over time, ticking once every 2 seconds or five times in total. On top of that there's bleed. While the damage itself is negligible in PvE, it does a fair amount in PvP. Now, I can't say if we have the best damage over times though, since Summoners have that annoying Doom n' Bloom.

Summoner is the DoT class, but Assassin can play a DoT game too. It is just not as effective as playing combo or PvE sin, so why even bother.

Poison can do a good amount of damage over time with 5 stacks, but the cd on your main poison ability is to long for it to be an effective overtime damage debuff.

Not dmg over time effective in pvp you mean?

 

So assassin pvp is direct dmg mainly?

So how useful is that dot dmg in pvp?
As in roughly how much % of your total dmg?

In arena I think it does at least ~1k damage or so per 5 stack tick? That's roughly around 5% of someone's health and that seems fairly big when we can abuse kiting.
