"Compared to how it works before, this way actually makes more sense. Before the change, the total damage was divided by the base duration, then Power Duration was applied to the duration which always seemed like a strange order."

Well, I think than when you add duration to a typical dot skill like miasma then the system should first math how heavy the damage should be each tick for the basic duration and then add eqaully strong additional ticks based on the bonus duration. Which is just how you wrote - and it's a totally common and normal way of how such skills work.

However, reducing duration should have be like it is now - first reduce duration and then count the ticks.

Personally I'll stick with increased duration, since I think it increases also duration of the crowd controll it gives and above level 30 miasma doesn't kill so well
