TA - Stacking

Ok was just wondering if anyone has the definative answer to what stacks with itself from the trick arrow set.

I'm aware that acid arrow wont stack with itself, but does glue, disruption and poison stack from the same defender?

I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year's leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year's bitter loving must remain

Disruption and glue stack since they're LBAoE's, and thus are actually cast by summoned entities, not the player. The rest don't stack.

sure that wouldn't apply to poison as well? seems to work in the same way

I'm pretty sure glue arrow is a targetted AoE.

Disruption Arrow and Oil Slick are the location based AoEs.

But it just targets the glue at the location of that enemy ;P

As Death Dude says Glue arrow is a targetted placeable, if that makes any sense. Its not like Lingering Radiation, which is a standard AOE. Its fired at someones feet and a placable appears centered at that target.

Glue & Disruption will stack with 3 recharge SOs and haste running, with just 3 recharge they'll be perma, recharged just as they wear off, haste gives them about a 6 or 7 second overlap.

Acid debuffs won't stack, but the [censored] damage will.

Acid + one Disruption gives the same DmgResist debuff as Freezing Rain (40% for Defenders, 30ish for controllers) I think.

Poison won't stack, it might be of use if it did.

[/ QUOTE ]Nah, poison was originally intended to be LBAoE, but was changed to normal AoE before I5 went live.

Posion needs a lot of work imo. They should change it to being LBAoE -DMG cloud that pulses short bursts of sleep and lasts the same duration as glue.
