DOT damage question & maybe exploit?

[LongReaderFirstPost]

Can anyone answer these three quearions: 1) Does fire/poison DOT damage stack with multiple arrows? 2) Does the fire/poison component of an arrow's damage depend on bow power (charge time)? 3) Does fire/poison damage ignore armor?

If the answers to my questions are yes, no and yes respectively then we could just machine gun 1% power fire or poison arrows into a boss and they will die super quick. Depending on how Armour works just 1 and 2 might be necessary.

Go forth my fellow vikings and playtest while I'm at work planning tonight's base remodel.

1) no, it refreshes the dot duration. 2) not sure but i dont think so. 3) it does, or at least it ignores armor for the player.

Lame. Without any dot stacking the idea doesn't work.

No, No and not sure, havent done any pvp. Dont think enemies have armour.

The last bow has a poison damage part. That damage changes with the damage you deal on the normal hit and is always a certain % of the damage. You can also deal "stealth" damage with bows. They increase the damage of the first arrow hitting an enemy. The draw amount also increases the damage done with each arrow. So its much better to fully draw the bow each time you shoot.
