No no no.

Duration increases the number of ticks. Their damage and frequency (how often a tick... ticks) isn't affected by duration (unless specified otherwise in the ability page).


 * For example* an ability with 5 ticks dealing 100 damage each over 10 seconds with 100% *Power Duration* will have 10 ticks dealing 100 damage each over 20 seconds with 200% *Power Duration*.


 * The result:* 500 damage over 10 seconds before and 1000 damage over 20 seconds after.

To increase DPS - in other words the damage of a single tick - you need Power Strength.


 * So using the previous example:* An ability with 5 ticks dealing 100 damage each over 10 seconds with 100% *Power Strength* will have 5 ticks dealing 200 damage each over 10 seconds with 200% *Power Strength*.


 * The result:* 500 damage in 10 seconds before and 1000 damage in 10 seconds after.
