DoT stacking per tick

I have the answer for you right here;

No idea for sure but probably if I had to guess. Finite frames means finitie damage windows for dot to be applied over. That's probably why fire coded dot gets screwed up and does hella damage compared to what it's supposed to. I'll let the PC guys answer for sure but I'm guessing yes.

I have a little different question about Dots and I hope OP won't be angry with me for hijacking the thread.

As far as I know, there are four powers that work with incendiary glitch, those being Warp, Incinerate, Flamer and Inferno Grenades. I never heard about Reave and Dark Channel also causing the glitch. I'll admit I don't often use the glitch anyway and I never even tried it with those two powers. But logic dictates that, those two beings Dots(and fairly powerful ones at that), they should also cause the glitch. Obviously, biotics can also cause the glitch(as shown by Warp), not just fire based powers. So why not Reave and DC as well? Or they cause the glitch and I just missed that?

That makes the most sense I suspected it had something to do with coding, but thanks for confirming.

Reave, dark channel, and some other grenade dot powers do not cause issue. The issue is solely with fire based dot powers stacking with themselves and incendiary ammo. It's almost unavoidable too if you use a fire based dot power. And it is unavoidable if you use incendiary rounds at all BC the my stack with themselves. So I wouldn't worry about it all and just enjoy the game. Reegar is the only weapon that applies it so stupidly that it's just cheating.

Explanation from Chris Schanche (dev) on Warp -

The reason you are seeing the larger stacks with warp, as well as the disappearing warp ticks, is because warp and incendiary
ammo both use the same damage effect for their DoT, this means that if an enemy is already warped and taking damage, and
incendiary is added, the two effects are combined into one, this of course also works the other way (incendiary first then warp,
creating one damage effect). Warp is still the 'owner' which is why when this effect kills a target, warp is the 'killing blow'.

Lol.

DOTs are all at 2 per second, or every half second, however you would like to express it.

When you roll another thing into or update a DOT, it should still be ticking at the same frequency, and should still be more or less .5 s from the last one.

Somewhat related, Inferno Grenade burn DOT will get shortened to Incendiary Ammo's length when you mix them, which will mean the grenades are doing significantly more dps (time reduced from 8s total to 3s total with inflated damage).

Reegar actually does less than theoretical damage even at 60fps... and a bit low at 120fps IIRC.  Reegar ROF is effectively 8000rpm which is much higher than anything else.

Ah I keep forgetting that.
Reegtard shots are still considered 8 projectiles per round.

It will inherit Flamer's multipliers, which is where extra damage comes from rolling IA with another power.

IA dot calculation error is a bug inherent to incendiary ammo's code for recalculating the dot rate each time it is updated.

With respect to Flamer v Warp, the multipliers are commonly going to be like this with typical evolutions:

Flamer: 1x Health, 2.25x Armor, 1x Barrier, 1x Shield
Warp: 1x Health, 2.25x Armor, 3x Barrier, 0.5x Shield

IA is of course 1x Health, 1x Armor, 0x Barrier, 0x Shield until rolled with a fire power.

Most DOT stacking I've ever accomplished in one session.  This took down a Gold Atlas in one cast.
