Spells: Shaman DoTs Not Stacking Correctly

[Castle]

FFS. This is project 1999, not project 2001. The classic dot system is pretty well documented as only allowing 1 dot per line to be cast on any one mob.

This was considered a flaw and was subsequently fixed


I can see why people would be upset with its current state, because that's exactly why it was patched in.

1 dot per line with Necros/Druids. Where is this evidence in regards to Shamans? The best source we got so far is the epic-fail-one-star Prima guide? Lol.

It wasn't patched in. It said that for necros (and druid sources confirm for druids) they could only cast 1 dot from each line. 2002 just affirmed this and sources say necros/druids couldn't stack like shamans. They changed it so you could stack 2 of the exact same DoT from 2 different classes in 2002.

BTW though the posts say 2001 they all say Jan of 2001 because that's when CR reformated DB and the dates got reset, all the other info stayed. This means every post at the latest was Jan 28 2001. Bam.

WHY EB TILL 49???, By Nuuk warchyld (the sacred) rodcet nife (1/28/2001)

Mobs that are level 35 or so like, Dorfs, Ein, Guards etc.. have roughly 1700 hit points. Therefore after level 39 (Venom of Snake) an efficient mana way of killing these mobs is as follows: Lure with Scourge (550dmg), VoS(460dmg), EB(220dmg), ROOT, VoS(460dmg) after 42 seconds. Root to keep mob still to get full dmg from dots in. With out EB you would come up short about 150 dmg therefore having to waste mana on a blast that could get resisted or VoS which takes more mana than EB. With this series of spells you can get right till level 48 killing those mobs with minimal mana loss and downtime. and dont forget to med while waiting for mobs to die. I have used this method on dorfs and lose only 1 bubble of mana per mob i kill. I keep just ahead of 5 dorfs at a time. thats roughly a dorf ever 4 mins with almost no down time since i med between dots not fights. Try it it works great!

He meditates BETWEEN Dots NOT fights. If he were able to stack the Dots each dwarf would die in approximately 21 ticks (2 minutes 6 seconds) from Scourge. He then would be sitting there for another TWO MINUTES meditating which he clearly states he does not do.

Scourge - 170 Mana (21 Ticks)
VoS - 160 Mana (7 Ticks)
Envenomed Breath - 100 Mana (7 Ticks)
Root - 30 Mana
VoS - 160 Mana (7 Ticks)
