PC does 2 DPS piercing for 5 seconds with each shot. No stack limit.

PMs do 1.35 DPS piercing for 5 seconds with each shot. No stack limit.

Chosen Plague Marines deal 5 heavy melee DPS for 5 seconds per hit. No stack limit.

Any I missed? Sternguard DoT is in there.

cool ty, was also wondering if it avoids cover, for example often times fighting SM units with PC in t1 while in cover i've always wondered if the green cover negates the DoT like it would normal bolter fire while in green cover.

The DoT still deals the same damage to units in cover. Cover will just affect the accuracy of the attacks, and the DoT only happens when the shots actually hit.

So that means that DoT is negatively affected when units are in cover because accuracy modifiers lessen the chance of actually being hit. Did I understand that correctly? It makes sense though since DoT is an on-hit effect.
