I was in the myydril caves today working on some quests, and had to kill off 15 of those CL 76 beetles. I watch the combat spam in my longer battles normally bcause it gives me something to do in the 5 min it takes to kill anything. Something odd, I was noticing... Iappeared to have as many as3 DOTs ticking away at any given moment, all for different damage numbers. The DOTs ticked as normal, once every 10 secs, but it seemed as though, just maybe, each attack used with a plasma flame thrower gets it's own chance to stick a DOT? I also looked for any correlation between the DOT and the shot used, but there appeared to be none. The only thing I did notice, and it might have just been a fluke, is when I downed some pyro (+208 ranged accuracy) the next DOT to land was almost 60 points higher. Any Rifleman/Commandos out there that have checked this out with advanced aim (+250 ranged acc, I think)? Has anyone else seen this stacking DOT in action, or is it just lagged combat system messages?

advanced aim added accuracy does not appear to give improved damage, ay least to me. (Tested against turrents)

I don't see how they could be stacking.....my flamers have yet to even stick a DOT in the last 2 days.
I have killed a buch of different things with a pre and a post Plasma and have yet to see a dot kick in or an icon appear by the target box showing one managed to stick.

Not sure if it actually stacks or not though from my experience its seemed to tick faster then every 10 so it might actually stack. As for its potency, I know for a fact the potency of the DOT depends on the damage done in the sticking shot similar to Torso shot for BH's before CU. With a normal ranged shot mine will tick for 290-320 or so. If it sticks ona Critical Shot I've seen over 400 a tick before.
