0.6.4 DR1 bugs

[Belfedia]

Now on EQ for DOT spell:

All DOT spells stack in any order (you can make engulfing darness + dooming darkness)

On old EQ, the best DOT take up by spell line.
If you cast level 60 dot poison on a mob, and you cast after a level 65 dot poison, only 65 spell work (the 60 is cancel and disappear).

For buff, It was more hard, and all spells can't stack
But we have one error on Eqemu, Paladin Hp/ac spell line don't stack with cleric Hp/ac buff.

I have changed the buff stacking code to allow one DoT of each RESIST TYPE to stack (meaning one of: MR, FR, CR, PR, DR, and unresistable). This still seems strange to me since two DoTs which share some other non-damage component will not stack. But at the same time, it also seems strange to let all DoTs stack. I will think about this more.


as for the pally/cleric thing... are these the spell lines your talking about? (if not, link them):
http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.htm...09&source=Live
http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.htm...79&source=Live
because those spells have very specific rules to prevent them from stacking with eachother in the spell itself.

For the pally buff :

With this cleric line :

these buffs stack fine for me now.
Please try out the newest code and post any continuing issues in a new thread.

Yeah, stacking DoTs of similar types (having three or four poison DoTs) onto a single MOB seems kinda weird.

The developers simply did it so that classes like Shammies and Necros would have an easier time finding groups.

Unless it was changed (which is possible) the way dots stack on eqlive is that all dots that do NOT have a non-dot component stack OK. Dots with a non-dot component do not stack, but the highest level one overwrites the lower one, regardless of efficacy, so a higher level spell with the same stat being lowered and a lower dps may replace a nastier (necro) spell just because it's a higher level. (This is another reason for necros to hate druids).

However, if the same spell (with a non-dot componet) is cast on a mob by two (or more) players, then the dot components do stack. So 2 necros can "stack" dooming darkness, and the mob is snared as per 1 cast, but has a double dot. If however clinging darkness and dooming darkness are cast on a mob by the same player, dooming darkness will overwrite clinging darkness completely. If the two spells are cast by seperate players, only the higher one works, just as if it was only one player casting.

Since most poison dots are just dots with a nuke, there was an exception made so theyd stack like pure dots, as everyone was pissed off that poisons wouldnt stack!

Or I could be FOS these days, but it used to work like that.

It was changed on live, quite a while ago.

With my druid, I'd drop Winged Death on, then click my Elder Spirist Vambraces (Stinging Swarm) and let him rot. Add on a Drifting Death if you wish, but as mana efficient.

Hmmm, yet another example of SOE catering to the mindless I guess - is there ANY need to think on eqlive anymore?

Another interestng thing about stacking on live, which would more then likely be very difficult to impliment is that multiple druids or whatever class can stack the same dot on the same mob. Of course this only works for some dots not all. So 3 druids can cast winged death on the same mob at the same time. It doesnt work for the druid fire DoT's tho... Only class I can be 100 percent sure of because its the only class I play Live.

I think that's because the fire dot had an additional effect like a small ac debuff or something.

Yes it has an AC debuff in it. Thats why it wont stack
