Theflame dotsdon't stack AFAIK.
I'm not sure how big thedot is, but its somewhere around a 10th of the inital damage done I think.

Let me put it to you this way...DoTs are not suppose to stack anymore ingame as of serveral patches ago...Up until recently it was speculated that our DoT may still stack but a recent patch may have changed that (I'll come back to this)...
So here is the dilema...If I was to go out and test whether our DoT still stacksandI possibly report back that it does, the Devs will probably find out and then they'll go in and "fix" that DoT issue (since they aren't suppose to stack)...Personally, I'd like to stick with the idea of trusting the reports that have told me that our DoT does not stack...
Now, here is where I get back to that other point...Our DoT may have recently been "fixed" because of people reporting on our forums that our DoT still stacked...Like I said, it may have, again, I'm not sure...but personally, and this is only speculation, but if it did actually still stack, I wouldn't be to gung ho about reporting it as such....
As I've asked before...Do people really want to keep reporting on whether our DoT stacks or not? and for that matter, do you want me to go and test whether it stacks or not, knowing that no matter the outcome, it will lead to our DoT not stacking (through already being that way or because it will have to be fixed to be like other DoTs)?
This kind of goes in the same category for me personally as "How powerful is your FT" posts...they are just asking for Dev attention on things we'd probably prefer they not pay so much attention to and focus on other more critical issues...

Does the flame dots, of flame single 1 and 2 stack? What are the exact damage mods of the flame dots?
