Bestow Curse

Post by Dalek Caan » Fri May 26, 2017 4:20 pm

I couldn't find a proper answer anywhere. Do castings of bestow curse stack? I did think it does not, but I hear it does. Any insight?

The script calls EffectCurse, more details can be found here

According to the Lexicon, curses stack. I don't see any code that prevents stacking. My advice would be to try it out at an arena, but my hunch is that it probably will stack.

UPDATE: Bestow Curse does not stack. Big shoutout to Yellena for taking the time for testing!

It looks like the code sets the n___Mod variables to 1, rather than incrementing them by 1. That's probably why.

If it tries to set those variables equal to 1, but they're already equal to 1 because of a previous casting, then it won't change anything.

Another update: Flare doesn't stack either.
