Thread: Poison vs Fire
Neekocha wrote:There's no difference in the damage they do but there is still a difference between the two effects: if your target has poison resistance (which is included in a full buff set), it's better to use fire, since it will be more efficient and it will have more chances to actually apply on the target.If there is a lot of water nearby (lakes, rivers), I think poison is better ; before CU, going in water would stop fire - I guess it's still the case but haven't witnessed it yet.
Yea but I always follow one up with the other no matter what anyway. Good points though
stick both if you can... oh and rember 1 thing...
poisen damage doesn't stack, believe either newest or biggest one overrights...
but fire damage does 
as long as applied from different sources

hi , regarding the fire stacking , can you explain what you mean by " applied from different sources " .
ok say in 1 group you have 2 cm's and 2 commandos
CM1 apply's fire
CM2 Apply's fire
Commando 1 applys fire
Commando 2 applys fire
Mob Ticks fire damage from CM1
Mob Ticks fire damage from CM2
Mob ticks fire damage from Commando 1
Mob ticks fire damage from Commando 2
if that was confusing, probably was i'm not too good at explainin stuff.... but pretty much all fire damage applied to a mob will stack as i have understood it... however only 1 kind of fire damage per person... not sure if say you are commando and cm if that will stack or not....
that help?
Wow at about 300 per tick and 1 tick ever 10 seconds you have a dead jedi

Or is it that there are enhancers which give you a better chance to stick.
skill all you need...
for poisen/fire the enhancers increase base dmg a tick by 50
so isntead of a 200-300 tick, its a 250-350 tick
240-360 damage per.
