Pike 1 (poison)

Pike 2 (poison)

Pike 3 (fire)




So I have been using 2 and 3 for a while now, and doing fine... we loot 2 and I think wow, there is no way to defend against these now...


But there seems to be a bug that anytime I apply 1 to someone, the 676 str poison I can no longer apply my fire, and if fire is already on them it will not tick.



Today I was PvPing and landing the 2 poisons and hitting people 20 times or so and no fire was landing... very frustrating.


I run a few tests..




* 3 = fire ticks alone

* 2 + 3 = poison ticks and fire ticks

* 1 + 3 = poison ticks no fire

* 1 + 2 + 3 = both poisons tick and no fire (did this by putting on the fire first)



Anytime I put on the 676 str poison the fire will not land, and if its already on it will not tick.


Does anyone know why this is? I would attempt to write a bug report, but it will just get looked at and never had anything done about it. Any ideas, and is this something that can be look at by the Pike correspondent please.

This is not true, I just tested it with a 180 str poison and the 2 exceptional poisons all 3 ticked so you can stack more than 2 dots at any given time.

The problem is the combination of the 676 str poison and the mind fire, any other combination does not cause problems, for some reason this 676 does not allow fire...

did even more testing with another mind fire lance and it worked... I was able to stack 4 poisons 1 diseas and a fire with the other pikes...

for some reason the mind fire listed here has a conflict with the 676 str poison lance... I am completly stumped as to why... I guess its time to find a new mind fire pike.

Wrong. I stacked 4 poisons, and a fire and it worked fine. I think mesk is just getting some kinda crazy glitch (which sucks btw ) Thanks btw for telling me I could mesk lol
