-They do not proc all at once, every single one of them has it's proc chance. For instance you proc ring, so only ring dot is active, then you proc belt 2 sec after ring, so ring and belt dots are active. It means you deal 2x dot damage and you can verify that, when you stop attacking you will see 2x red numbers. If you manage to proc all 5 bio pieces procs simultaneously, you'll see 5x red numbers.
- bio dot works on every single map, not only in first 2 elder woods maps. Actually you will deal same damage from bio dot to any mob from any map (tested on 5 different expansion maps and verified). It is called bio dot, but to simplify it to you all, it is just bonus proc with bonus damage to all enemy. You know how you proc kraken weapons or other weapons and their proc work vs all enemy? It is the same with bio pieces and their dot. It lasts 8 sec and has it's own cd. You can look at it as every bio set piece has it's own proc that works everywhere.
- the difference from classic procs is, that bio proc requires nature damage to work, so if you have only one bio piece (e.g ring) and proc enemy you see damage from bio dot, but when you change bio ring for other ring bio dot stops. Why? Because you lose nature damage. It is simple, if in your entire set isn't bio piece with nature damage, you bio dot deals no damage. So it is required to use at least 1 bio piece when you proc bio dots, here is scenario (damage numbers are just example to understand, how nature damage helps, not real values):
-You have all 5 bio pieces and goblin gems (they buff nature dmg), so your nature damage is maxed out, when you proc all 5 pieces and keep them on, you will deal 1mil damage from every piece, so you see 5x 1mil damage for 8 sec.
-Now remove one bio piece and replace it with something else, what will happen? You will still see 5x dot damage, but only dealing 800k per tick. Remove 2nd piece, what happens? Yes, you still deal 5x dot but this time for 600k damage per tick. Let's skip it to the end. Proc 5x bio dots and remove all bio pieces, what will you see? You are right, nothing, because you won't have any nature damage in set. Do the same woth 4, 3, 2 or 1 bio dots. E.g proc 4, change 1 bio item for something else, you deal 4 dots but with lower damage. Or proc 2 bio pieces and remove both, you will deal 0 damage. It is what it is, nature damage is fuel of bio dot.
- bio dot works with stats. It means higher stats, the stronger dot, it also means it works with awaken (high str/int/dex, or boss damage or elite damage), but it requires nature damage to be present in your set, because nature damage is as i called it fuel to bio dot. In short no nature damage === no dot, higher nature damage === higher dot damage, but it does work with stats, awaken and buffs from pets or equipment procs such as kraken armor
