Pestilence will increase DOT Damage when you inflict enemies with Spirit Plague and Plague Bearer is a new DOT that spreads separate from Spirit Plague.
When Plague Bearer spreads it seems to trigger the Pestilence bonus. But the Pestilence bonus also stacks. So I cast Spirit Plague once, the Plague Bearer DOT spreads and my DOT bonus damage climbs +45 % (currenlty 3 points in it) 5+ times(!) totalling in +235% more dot damage, exploding Spirit Plague DOT into killing anything it touches.
Is this intended? Feels a bit OP. I feel the Pestilence bonus should not stack.
Isn’t it increased global damage over time? So it’s still very strong, particularly early, but not quite so broken late game. Regardless, can confirm it stacks.
My default value in the character sheet is about 43%. When the buff is triggered multiple times it climbs to 200% / 300% . So each instance buffs another +45% (with 3 points in it)
Is it supposed to stack whenever you cast Spirit Plague on a unit, even if that unit already has Spirit Plague on it? That seems to be way too strong for single target damage. It also makes me wonder if the poison application from Toxic Transmission also applies when the target already has Spirit Plague. Don’t know how to test that, though.
