I thought I saw a post where a person claimed to be ablt to stack 4 fire Dots on a Krayt. Is this possible?

you can stack more than 4, you can stack 4 per flamethrower you use. just use each special for each one.

4 per each of the two flamethrowers, 4 for the heavy lightning cannon. If you had time enough, you could probably do four from thermal detonators, but with the minute lag between throws of grednades of the same type, this puts a realistic cap of 13 on the flame dot.

when you guys are saying 4 per flamer,im assuming your meaning 4 different specials correct?
ie; torso shot=1 fire dot ,confusion shot=2nd fire dot etc.
also,i have confirmed that the cm fire dot stacks nicely as well.

given the the dates of the original poster, I doubt he was talking about post -cu
Currently in live you can stack the flame dots from all 4 or our specials. This can be done with each flamethrower.
For instance
Equip FT1
/flamecone2
/flamesingle2
/flamecone1
/flamesingle1
Equip FT2
/flamecone2
/flamesingle2
/flamecone1
/flamesingle1
by this time your first dot will probably be wearing off so start from the begginning and go again.
Keep repeating this until the creature is dead.
The faster your FT, the more dots you can stack. This is why many commando prize speed over damage when it comes to flamethrowers.

Dot's are tracked by specials...
A commando can stack 4 flames with 1 flamethrower by using all the flamethrower specific specials.
2 Commandos cannot stack their dot's on the same target.
multi flamethrowers used by the same commando do not stack on a single target.
Saying that they do is like saying a pistoleer can use 10 different psitols and their 2 bleedshots to stack up 20 bleed ticks on a target, which as we all know just aint true.

OK,
I am talking about whats happening right now in TC with the curb.
Do fire dots stack from using different specials with the plasma thrower?
Can anyone confirm this as i dont play a commando in Live anymore and honestly dont hardly play live right now at all.

it's LIKE saying that, but it isn't actually saying that...If we can't stack DoTs from multiple flamers, then explain how i can get a -5k or -6k flame tick going on krayts?

You have no idea what you are talking about.
You most certainly CAN stack flame dots, 4 per flamer, and up to 3 flamer's worth, depending on speed. Also, 2 commandoes CAN stack dots as well.
Stacking flame dots has been debated and confirmed over and over again on these forums.. I don't know why the same debates rage on and on.

I've certainly had a lot of success sticking 12 DoTs on Super Battle Droids using 3 FTs - and yes it works.
