DoT Stacking News from the Fan Faire!

[Xalmat]

Falaanla, fellow site admin for the Summoner's Tower, reports the following in an AIM chat with me from the Fan Faire:<blockquote><HR>DoT stacking IS being fixed. The dots WILL stack from what I heard at today's panel. You won't be able to cast multiple of your own, but two [necromancers] will be able to stack the same one.<HR></blockquote>He'll be posting a full report within the next couple days.

Noooo!  This means more people will be playing necromancers.  GAH!  EQ1 where everyone had a Necromancer and Druid alt, here we come.  Bleh. Thanks for the update.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

This is true, to the best of my knowledge.

This is good news since I have been in groups with two or more necromancers.  I also hope they will allow others spells to stack as well like Plague of Rats and such.   Crossing my bones.

<P>Rats are a dot like any other so,...</P> <P>I don't have that much of a problem with dot stacking issues in grps. Its the raids i am more concerned about.</P>

That is good news to my ears.. in groups it is rare to find more than one necro unless we massed up using tank pets and such but that is not a real grouping...  I noticed in groups that it became a case of who had the biggest upgrade...  So being able to stack dots and stack the debuff will be a nice thing.
