Stacking HoT's - any limit?

The patch notes say that HoTs can now stack from multiple soures. What it doesn't say however is if there is a maximum number of HoT's that you can stack on a person. E.g. if there are 6 healers with HoTs, will all 6 be ticking on a person? Is there a limit per type of spell (three Rejuv's, three renews). Could a tank in essence have 20 different HoTs going at one time if the healers were there to provide that?

As far as I'm aware, they should all stack up. I would think that the limits would coincide with how many buffs you can have on you, but don't quote me on this. I'll have to double check to make sure I'm giving you the right information.

I have quoted you against your wishes.


Please do not run from the men in black suits when they show up at your door. You will only tire yourself and make them angry.

Since Blessed Recovery is a HoT how come it doesn't stack?


There are some exceptions to the stacking allowances. I can't find my specific notes on this but I'll see about getting more information for you.
