The Hidden Forest

I'm curious - I know various effects overwrite one another, but do DoTs from different casters stack and work simultaneously?

Like say two Necros drop Curse of Undeath Rk. I and Desolate Pyre on an enemy - will the enemy take damage ticks from both? Will one get ignored? Or will one get overwritten outright?

I ask because today I was working with another necro in PoFire, and it seemed my DoTs were being overwritten by his.

Looks like no, real shame as I thought the project added it.
Just checked the emu change log and didnt see much in it about necros or dots stacking.
Real shame because I remember a time when shards of dalaya added dot stacking.
Made us raid necromancers so happy that we could work together.
Became obscene with 4 or 5 dropping festering on something.

I remember that all way back before PoP SOE made different caster dost stack.. I am surprised EQEMU never coded this in...

"- DoT spells cast by different players on an NPC now stack (Sept. 4 2002)"

Hey Chaos how hard would this be to get working?

I thought this was working correctly. I've never had a problem with dots being overriden by anyone, nor anyone mentioning it happening.

Either a recent change has reverted this (we are updating to emu code), or something went wonky server side, or I was completely mistaken from the getgo.

I have no idea honestly - this is heavy coding department. This was suppose to be working all along from day 1. maybe some recent code changes made a glitch somewhere, or maybe this was a one-time fluke

Looks like I'm gonna have to find another necro to test this with. Admittedly, my original post was anecdotal, just from one experience working with a necro in PoFire. I haven't done any hard testing here.

I intend to correct that... tomorrow. For now it's nearly 2:30 AM and I think "sleeping" is what I'm supposed to be doing right now.

If you don't find anyone else, I can probably help you out tonight (8ish central) assuming the baby cooperates.

Just finished testing this with another necro in my guild.

If two casters attempt to stack the same DoT on a target, the latest cast overwrites previous casts.

Here's a screenshot. Notice that, after I cast my Desolate Pyre, you see no more ticks from Kazien's; that's because mine cancelled his, just like his cancelled mine earlier.

BTW, thanks for the offer aabamzen.
