Thread: Does mind shot 1 and 2 stack ?
im not totally sure on this but i seem to remember an annoucement on bleeds and dots where only 1 bleed or dot would stick from 1 person, but a group of people could stick 1 bleed or dot per each person.
example your attacking a krayt with a CM, 3 rifleman, a swordsman etc. the CM can throw the disease and poison, rifle 1 sticks a mindbleed 2, the rifle 2 sticks the same and rifle 3 sticks the third.
but i dont think 1 and 2 will stack by yourself.
i ofc could be wrong as i hardly ever use bleeds anymore since the big nerf as they are pretty much useless

Incorrect. You can stack bleeds. However multiple people can not stack multiple cases of the same bleed. What happens if three Riflemen throw a MS2 is that only the most damaging one will stick. But you can stack MS1 and MS2. It works this way with all bleeds except the Commandos. I don't believe they can stack their fire DoTs the same way. They can do a FlameSingle DoT and a FlameCone DoT. But they can not stack a FlameSingle1 and FlameSingle2.
However I'm not sure what happens if a Swordsman hits with a mind bleed and a Rifleman does also. It may count as seperate bleeds so you could stack a few mind bleeds on one target.

Really I did not know that?
So is it worth stacking both bleeds anymore or does the armor reduction kill them(Have not stacked bleeds since they were changed)?
The bleeds themselves are very low in intensity. However it may be worthwhile to use them not for the bleeds but for their pool hitting. You'd have to compare their damage multipliers, time delays, and HAM costs with HeadShot. But it could be useful in that regard.

for now .....
but i woundnt count on it stacking for too long, or affecting the mindpools liek it currently does for that matter.
Yes they stack. How much they tick for depends. I rarely use it since the nerf. However in the old system you could look at your combat spam and that number would indicate the bleed tick. Not sure if they changed that part or not. Though they did make armor and resists count so you would have to modify the combat spam number to reflect this. Best bet is to zoom out and watch the floaty damage over the target. It will show a bleed symbol when the bleed ticks and the floaty damage will be the actual damage done. You can then compare this to the combat spam to get an idea. Just remember the modifiers for armor and resists.
