Thread: No More DOT Fire stacking...
• DoT stacking has been changed so that each player attacking a target can only have one fire dot, one health bleed, one action bleed and one mind bleed.
This is form the Test Center forums, if I'm reading this right, it means I will now suck at hunting.
Let the Rants Begin!!
actually, its no more flamethrower in pvp.
fire dots dont stack
fire dots dont work well against atst
chef food flameout = 85% damage reduction on the first 3 shots (read: here comes commando, drink flameout, that flamespecial does nothing to you, as the fire dot is tied to the initial damage, initial damage is reduced by pvp by about 70% from pve damage, now this is a further 85% reduction, so those 500 damage flamer shots we used to put, vs a nonarmored target will hit 85% less so the flamer will hit for 75 INITIAL damage with this chef food, and the dot is dependant on the initial hit, so our dots will now be..around 50 pnts id say. cute no? oh and if target has composite, with that 50% or higher heat resist, youll be ticking them for a nice 20pnts. you'll be better off firing a marksman health bleed shot with your launcher pistol now.

That's precisly what I intend to do. Sad really, I liked the idea of being a commando
Or perhaps I should go Rifleman, I hear they're doing allright...
By the time I can play again ( end of may ) on a regular basis maybe we'll be re-fixed.... however.... WoW will be out.
Wheeeeee.
Do the DEV's even know what they are doing? This is INSANE.
To DEV's: YOU ARE TOTAL TOOLS!!!!!
HOWEVER...
Stacking Defenses
Stacking Counterattacks, Blocks, Dodges
Stacking Pistol/Carbine accuracy (BH)
These are all perfectly acceptable.

go pistoleer.
fire dot + health shot2 using the LP will be your only stacking dot.
hilarious though.. you can drop master and just keep grenadeer now and truly be a master commando for all purposes.
unbelievable.
I'm a new commando...can you explain exactly what you mean by this? Because I'm not going to bother mastering if there's no point...
if i am informed correctly, you cannot put your 4 DoTs on a single target any more, but 4 players can each put one DoT on the target for a total of 4 DoTs. now lets see what happens if we have 5 or more people...
(though i am not really sure if multiple players can stack the same type of DoT on a target right now. maybe someone knows this for sure?)
