Do they stack or does a second cancel out the previous? Thanks.

    Same skill over and over again cancels out the previous DoT damage ticks.

    If they are different skills, then the DoT's should stack.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Engulfing Flames stacks with Burning Embers. Engulfing Flames does not stack with Engulfing Flames. And so on an so forth.

    I'd like to know a little more about this area. Specifically, if I use the Unstable Flame morph of Searing Strike which increases damage every two seconds, but I use the ability again before it reaches the end of it's cycle, will the damage multiplier reset? Or will it continue to increase in damage until the 8.5 seconds is over? I ask because I want to know how careful I need to be about spamming that ability. I'd like to be sure I'm getting the most damage out of it and not wasting its potential by activating it too soon. Thanks.

    How are a DK's dot abilities now anyway in pvp? I did not play for a while but I used to have "pyromancer" type character and it was very fun the damage once stacked also used to be great. However i made a new one recently and went to pvp and it was shockingly low. The guy just ended up standing there jumping on the spot and just strolled away, haha. Is it ONLY effective now at v14+?

    I generally support the new 50% damage reduction in PvP but the DK dots are the first thing i have come across where i can honestly say are (in non vet atleast) useless. :(
