I know Mindshot 1&2 will stack in rifle but will they with stack with swordsman two-handed mind hit 1&2?
Will a mind poision rifle stack with a combat medic poision? And do poisions/bleeds/fire's on different attributes stack on top of one another i.e health DoT stack with an Action or Mind DoT (if they were both poisions?)

I'm not sure how it's supposed to work and I'm not sure how it works when coming from 2 people, but here's how it works from 1 person at least:
- Bleeds do stack.
- Poisons from different weapons sometimes stack. For example, I have 2 mind poison lances. If I hit a person with each most times they will stack. There are cases that have been reported on the Pikeman boards where certain weapons do not stack with each other.
- A fire should stack with a poison and bleed, although like before there have been reported cases where they do not.
The thing I am not sure on is if a poison from my weapon will stack with a poison thrown by a CM, but I'm guessing it would. Also, these things should not be stacking I don't believe, but they currently do.
Also, yes, a health poison and an action poison will both work on the same target. It's actually a good tactic to use against a doctor I've heard, because there is only one /curepoison type command, you can't choose /curepoison mind. And mind just happens to be the last poison that would be cured, so if you place a health, then action, then mind poison on someone, they have to cure the health and action first before they can cure the mind, so your mind should tick at least once or twice. This is just what I've heard though, I haven't been a doctor and haven't gotten a chance to test it out yet on a doctor, so perhaps someone else can confirm or deny what I said.
To go along with that question, are there any weapons, or ways to modify current weapons (T-21) to make them DoT?

Nope. The only weapons you can get that have built in DoT's are looted ones (with the exception of a few looted schematic weapons - Enhanced E11 Carbine, Modified Republic Blaster, Gamorrean Battle Axe and a couple of others, no rifles though)

that's true.
however, high effectiveness cures can heal every poison you have in one shot-- you just need uber cures (just like cm's use uber poisons).
here's a post by one of the better pvp doc/cm's on our server...

So if a Rifleman/Swordsman hit with the x4 mind bleeds would you see combined tick or 4 seperate ticks?
When I hit with the two rifle bleeds I see them as separate ticks, so I'd imagine it would be the same if you had swords as well.
