I just bought a mind fire lance and it seems that my mind poison overwrites it. is this the way or is it because of damage numbers. mind fore is 175 the poison is 270.

just keep hitting the guy until you see both the poison symbol and the fire symbol. also, they might be part doc, so they might be using /dousefire on the fire part.

Yes, that happens. It doesn't seem to have a real discernible pattern to it, though if you search a bit there was an old post on this forum testing it. Basically, if you apply a fire DoT and then a poison DoT the fire will sometimes remain without ticking or doing any damage.
It's a bug. Of course we're not supposed to be able to stack DoTs at all, so it's a bug of a bug.

Hey guys. I have a couple of questions about DoT weapons. Any help you can provide would be great!
1) Torso Shot - What determines the amount of damage done by the DoT this applies, the amount of time it lasts, and the wounds it inflicts? Does a higher damage pistol produce a higher damage DoT?
2) Weapos with DoT's on them - Is there a formula to convert the DoT stats (strength, duration, potency) into the amount of damage that will be done with each "tick" and the frequency of which the "ticks" will occur?
3) CURB - How are DoT weapons going to be affected by the CURB?

1. Dont know.
2. Poisons will tick for their strength per 10 seconds. Diseases will tick for their strength at 40 seconds, fire will tick for more than their strength and wound, but the amount more is determined by battle fatigue and other weird factors, ticks around the rate of poison.

3) any non-health dot weapon might as well be thrown away

A few questions on DoTs, if they have been asked before links would be greatly appreciated:
1) How long do DoTs typically last? I usually notice that my fire DoT goes out before poison.
2) Do enhancers lengthen DoT durations?
3) Can you stack fire and poison dots??? I think I have but I'm unsure.
4) If they do stack, how many has anyone ever stacked and how often do mulitple DoTs stack?
Thanks.
