    I take it you barely read anything I wrote, if at all.

    I was agreeing and further explaining what you said.

     

    Do you interpret everything from a point of negativity? Just imagine how your experience on these boards would be like if you actually stopped viewing everyone as being against you.

    You stay sassy!

    Stacking was confirmed by a dev in a video a while back. Only 1 hot works at one time.

     

    Sadly he didn't explain anything beyond this such as if different hots from different sources can stack or if stack limits exist. I didn't test this however. I see now that mods exists to track hots and dots so someone using such a mod can hopefully reveal the answer.

     

    Edit: I see someone above noticed that at least some different ones stack. Good news indeed.

    Were you agreeing? 

    From my point of view I wrote that I played a full Siphon healer and didn't need a Resto staff and you're asserting that you can't Siphon heal without one. Seemed to be pretty contrary to me. *shrug*
