Dot stacking question

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

So I highly assume that Dots from the same source dont stack but only refresh the duration.

There are two situations that are unclear to me though.

  1. Poison Dmg from Nidalla’s Hidden Hand: It modifies the three WPS Skills. Is the Poison applied by the WPS skills and thus do they stack or does the poison dmg come from NHH?

  2. Is kinda similar: Im playing a Dervish with Guardian of Empyrion. Since i have two out and they do poison dmg, do they apply the dot separately? (thus 2 dots ticking at the same time?)

Thanks in advance, this game has some complex mechanics lol.

  1. Should stack, a modifier is not a damage source. The sources should be the 3 wps

  2. Each Guardian dot should stack if it comes from an attack. If it were like thermite mines which are debuff auras that deal dmg, then no it wouldn’t.
