How to tell if abilities are stacking (DoTs for example)

Hey all,

Is there any easy way to tell whether abilities are stacking? Or, do all abilities presumably stack unless specifically stated somewhere that they don't?

My main concern is using something like Dark Talons combined with Unstable Flame as a DK. Both give a DoT effect - are they stacking?

Thanks.

    Everything from different spells 'should' stack, although the same affect from multiple people might not. AOE limits targets to six currently.

    The one random exception - Vampire passive for increased stealth speed does NOT stack with set bonuses for same. Cause game design fail by Zenimax.

    Because of QQers.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.
    Is the glass half full or half empty?
    I say, "Get a smaller glass."

    CLS can give you a good idea of what happens with your dots. In my experience the system is a complete mess. Some things stack some don't, some skills can add a dot to more than one target some can't. One example is cripple&morphs which will add a dot only on the last target hit by the skill.Burning seems to not stack for one player skills but do for multiple players .
