Does Flame1 stack with Flame2

and does Flamecone1 stack with Flamecone2

Also, would Flame2 stack with Flamecone2 etc

I hear bleeds stack but have never seen any proof. If the above answers are yes, then could someone point me in a direction or tell me how to prove it myself. Thanks a bunh

I just hit Flame II today, and Flame single 1 and Flame Cone 1 definately stack.

Yes, yes, and....yes. If you do each of the DoTs they will all stack.

yes our beloved dots do stack but dont forget we get 5 health dots when your a master commando 4 in commando tree and 1 in marksman cant go wrong with 5 dots

IThanks.

Interesting. Now to the second part of the question. How can you tell? as far as i can tell, there is only one icon on the target bar. Are there varying messages in the combat spam that I've missed? Basically what I'm asking is a way to prove it to myself.

you can tell cause if you apply 2 dots, the damage ticks 2 times faster. watch how much dmg each dot does. a dot from flamesingle1 does less damage than a dot from flamecone1. so i get the cone dot going, then flamesingle1 dot, easily doing 2k+ dmg in the time i would normaly do only 1k.

Sorry to be a newbie but this stacking thing? I dont really understand how it works,

do you choose a special eg flame 1 and flame 2 and they add together and fire at once or something?

so marksman would bodyshot 1 and 2 stack and fire at the same time?

I guess DOT is damage over time,

I been nothing but a crafter in this game and have chosen the line of commando, so sorry for not knowing :-/

By "stacking" we mean that they are DOT's that attack the same pool. Flame specials, while the initial damage (you use concentrated flame on xxx for 4000 points fo damage!!) hits a random pool, the "On Fire" attacks the health pool.

As with any DOT's the effects stack as long as they come from different moves. So if you shoot Flame single 1, then flame single 1 again, there is no stacking, you used the same move. But if you do Flame single 1, Flame cone 1, then its 2 differnt moves and the DOT's stack. and youre target os taking more damage per second from the fire.

at master you can stack all 4 Flame Dots, and use your Launcher pistol to apply health shot 1 from your pistol training in Marksman, and you have a total of 5 DOTs working together on the same pool.

hope that clears it up

I think i get the jist of it now,

so at master i could go flame single 1, flamecone2, flame single 2, flamecone 2 and voila uber dmg coming up. but each special takes 1 turn and then the outcome is sweet!

same for healthshot, so i could get pistoleer and stack healthshot 1 & 2 also!

Sweet

I just got flame single 1 so i'm on my way! gonna go master smuggler 2.

Thanks for your help :-)

Yup, at master you can take down a rancor no problem by hitting it with all 4 fires. Just make sure to tap it with eithr your LP or acid Rifle before it goes down though, since they're 100% heat resist.

Woh nice! I didn't know cones and singles were stackable! Wow, now all i gotta do is make room on my UI..

What i did was make a few macros to save space on my toolbar.
maek one like:

/flamesingle2
/fireAcidsingle2

It'll just fire whatever special it can, with no delay or loss of turn. Make similar ones for the other specials, that way you can just use 4 toolbar slots to cover all your acid and flame specials.

I think the flame singles actually tick more damage than the cones of the same rank, the advantage of the cones are the effects potentially hitting more targets, also the damge per tick is based on initial damage as well like other dots/bleeds. If you do cone a few targets you will want to try and hit them at least once or else you will not be able to loot or harvest the target.
