Talk:Damage over time/@comment-25922788-20160724024028

I feel like the line between dps and dot is very blurred. I would consider the difference to be that dot is a damage effect(like poison and brand's passive) that lingers after you get hit by a spell. While dps is damage you take every second you are being hit by the spell(such as miss fortunes make it rain or ult). Is this incorrect?
