Effect stacking

Ruth · 10-12-2007, 08:27 AM

I'm leveling a Chigoe and was wondering if Darkness attack bonus would enhance Draining Attack.
I'm not sure if it applies to that skill or to things like a mob casting Drain.
Also is there another way to enhance the attack like +INT?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think anyone knows yet, so you could test it and tell us.

Int doesn't affect drain damage. Only dark magic skill under normal circumstances.

I was going to post that, but got distracted by something shiny. There's still so much to figure out, why not try it and let us know what you find?

has any one tried to stack stoneskin with dread spikes? i have a pet i'm about to attempt this on but was hoping maybe some one else had tried this. The result i'm hoping for is that the spikes will drain 0 while stoneskin is up (since 0dmg is taken till its depleted) then after stoneskin drops, the spikes will begin to work as normally expected. What i'm affraid might happen is that the spikes may deplete on the 0dmg blows.

If any one has a 50test pet and would like to test this i'd love to hear the results, if any one has a 75drk with rdm or whm sub and would like to test the interaction between the two spells i'd also be interested in the result from that as well, since the feral skill seem to stick to the rules of the spells on PCs almost exclusively on the pets, just more potent.

I'll repost later with the results unless some one beats me to it.

aslo does additional light damage bonus stack with additional light damage+25?

No, tested with level 50 damage bonus.

Light Attack +15% does work with Additional Light Damage (scaling). That's what I'm using on my chigoe now, the Light Bonus plate jumped damage up by about 10.

saw a pet in diablo with stoneskin and dread spikes, the stoneskin absorbed a good 3 hits and there were no drains for 0HP from the spikes, then after the stoneskin was gone the drains began. Possible glitch that there were no 0HP drains in chat log, but the reslut proves that they are usefully stackable. the spike seemed to drain full amount, 200+HP
