Stacking Type?

[jwallstone]

Does anyone know what the field "Stacking Type" does in the Ability Editor?

I've seen it on a few abilities, like Slow Poison, Envenomed Spears, Parasite, and maybe more, and it has four options: Attack Rate, Damage, Kill Unit, and Movement. One would think that it simply indicates which effects are applied to the unit, but that doesn't really make sense, as it wouldn't be set correctly: on Slow Poison, only Damage is checked but it also slows attack rate and movement; on Parasite, only Kill Unit is checked but it also does damage.

Thanks.

I think it means whether you get increases effect by getting hit by it multiple times, i.e. if the effects stack. so if poison does 3 damage per second and you get hit by it 3 times it will do 9 per second if it stacks. if not then only 3.

yeah it will stack but only from another units. lets say you are a ghoul and 3 dryad are attacking you, the poison will stack 3 times, then 1 dryad dies it can be then only 2 stack.

then 1 dryad dies it can be then only 2 stack.

is that a consequence of the dryad dying (immediate adjustment) or will that happen only once the buff runs out. What I really want to know is if 1 unit attacks 20 times over the course of 10 seconds with a poison that lasts 10 seconds will u be taking 10x damage due to 10 poisons or only 1 since they are from the same unit?
