Fencer Archive

Greetings,

Just performed some tests on stacking poisons with fire and came up with some disturbing results:

Fencer is BUGGED somehow.

.Using my mind fire stone knives and poison gaffis and Janta knives i first noticed that if you stack more then 1 poison on a target in pvp the mind fire will NOT take. You can swing all day the mind fire will not land. Next i tried applying the mind fire first, then the poison dots. This you can do. HOWEVER as soon as you land a poison on the target the mind fire dot immediately ceased ticking, making it worthless! **edit**?!?!? I thought maybe i personally bugged or soemthing, so i handed my weapons over to another fencer. He had the same issues. Now this is where it gets interesting.....I then gave wy weapons to a Pikemen/Fencer and he was able to stack all the dots AND they all ticked in whatever order he chose? Same with the dots from a pistol and rifle, their fire and poison stack in any combination and do NOT cut each other out? So whats going on with 1H weapons? Just to let me reiterate-

1) Poison dots override fire dots on the same bar and stop them from ticking, wounds and damage immediatly cease from fire dot if poison is applied. Poison dot continues ticking as normal.This does not happen with other clases.

2) If you apply a poison dot you cannot add fire dot after, you must Fire first. Then when you add the poison after the fire it immediatley ceases ticking but the icon stays on them. Only benefit is they cannot meditate etc. No damage...no wounds.

I encourage other people to run these same tests and see what you come up with. We did these tests on Starsider using MAster Fencers and came up with these results. Please post any info here )

Thanks.

I have a health fire stone knife that works just great. Nothing wrong with it.

Who the ***edit*** codes this game?

Neoc i think theres an issue wth mind fire. I used my mind fire gaderffi last night for a good 5 mins on someone and it finally hit. The poison stacked right after. I dunno if its something with mind fire but....

Holo No thanks.
Where'd my guild go.

Certain weapons have trouble stacking DOTs with other weapons, probably having something to do with when they dropped (between which patches).

I did an experiment with a friend of mine, because his newest exceptional mind poison pike (he has 2 pikes w/ 700ish strength mind poison...madness) didn't stack with his old mind fire pike. Just like the original poster said, if the poison was applied first, the fire would never tick, and if the fire was applied first, applying the poison would stop the fire from ticking. Of course, his other poison pikes worked just fine with the fire pike. We did a test with one of my very old mind fire Janta staves, and that stacked with all of his poison pikes, including the new one.

My suggestion is to find someone w/ roughly equivalent DOT weapons, and swap em around until you have a combination that stacks together properly.
