Does poison dmg stack with bleed dmg stack with magic dot?

does more bleed dmg stack with previous bleed dmg, same with poison?

Not exactly, though yes, the three versions of degeneration stack together

IE: A bleed, a Poison, and a Health Degen (IE: Necro or Mesmer spell) stack together, leading up to a decent amount of DOT

HOWEVER.

Multiple instances of the same type of DOT do not seem to stack. So if you cast a second phantasm or a necro casts a degen spell on the same creature, you dont get even more.

To be honest, in this case I am not sure which takes precidence: The higher degen amount or the last cast.

Anyone have a definitive anwser on that?

Oh really? I can understand the magic DoT not stacking since it is a hex. But poison? Other people have seemed to be of the opinion that the damage from a new hit with a poisoned arrow will stack with whatever dot was leftover from the previous poison hit...

And I suppose that brings up another question I have.. Is there a maximum health degeneration? The health bar only has so much room for <'s..

Multiple instances of the same skill or type do not stack - but I know that necromancer DOT and Conjure Phantasm DO stack, so it isn't "magical" DOTs not stacking, it's simply that you can't put two Conjure phantasms on to get it to do twice as much. Two people can Life siphon the same badguy though - doesn't boost the degeneration, but they both get life out of it.

They all stack to a maximum of -10 degeneration. I believe they stack beyond that, just that -10 is the maximum the player will degenerate, so you can stack -16 on a guy and he'll have -10 degen; if he is then given a 7 arrow Healing Breeze he's at -9 degeneration.
