Stacking Spike Growth
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2022 4:37 am
Description
==========
Spells from the same caster aren't supposed to stack, but it appears that spike growth does indeed stack. If reports from discord are correct, Spike Growth is lasting much longer on Shaman than it should, too.
Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
Cast spike growth in the same area multiple times and watch an enemy run into it.
Expected result
-----------------------
Only one damage proc in that area.
Actual result
-------------------
Multiple damage procs in that area -- up to four per round it seems like.
Screenshot(s)
--------------------
Doesn't feel relevant, but I can take one later.
Misc Notes
----------------
I tested this on the illusory foe up in the arcane tower because it seemed the easiest target for it. Additionally, if Spike Growth's duration is supposed to be diminished, I can say that as I'm writing this post, I have the game running in the background. The duration of these casts of spike growth -- not extended -- were around 7 minutes on a CL 28 character. If that's working as intended, that's fine.
