Hi All,

I'm a bit new to CM, but not new to the game at all.

I was wondering, I have read that Area Poison/Disease don't stack, but that Singles do.

Would that mean that:

Poison-Mind-A +
Poison-Mind-B +
Poison-Mind-C +
Area-Poison Mind-C

Would be the optimal attack barrage?

Or when they say singles stack, do they literally mean that 2 identical Poison-C's applied to the same target would stack? In which case, the optimal attack would be:

Area-Poison Mind-C +
Poison-Mind-C (repeat, ad lib, fade)

?

stacking As and Bs with the Cs takes too long IMO

Okay, I was fiddling with this all last night.

In my experiments on Bantha's (they had the hitpoints to test properly and couldn't kill me buff and in composite, so i could just stand there and watch numbers).

I found:

A+B+C = Just C
C+B+A = Just A

I think, based on this, that one of either 2 things is happening:

1) The numbers coming up over the beasts heads only show the last poison you applied.

or

2) The poisons *don't* stack, and only the last one you applied comes up.


Can someone who's been playing this class longer than a day or three confirm my suspicions?


For our Correspondant:
Is "Why isn't the damage Poison/Disease does coming up in the combat Spam window?" on the issues list?

That would make these tests so much easier...
