A little question on how spreading flames work

General
1

Spreading flames has maximum stack of 1. So what would happen if I apply another stack of spreading flames on a target with spreading flames?

  1. The new spreading flames replaces the old one.
  2. The new spreading flames cannot replace the old one.
  3. The one with higher damage will be applied.
  4. Other?

I just got a Firestarter’s Torch and was trying to figure out a build for sentinel.

I believe the answer is number 1. It definitely always starts the timer over again for the stack when I’m using it so I would bet it’s just discarding and applying a new stack when it procs.

I was low key hoping it would be 3. Sometimes people are using several skills with different damage. It would be nice if the spreading flames stack with higher damage will be applied in this case.

It’s possible I’m wrong since auras take the stronger effect, but I’m pretty sure ailments are calculated on application so since spreading flames is limited to 1 stack at a time it most likely just replaces it.
