The dot effect from the fireball staff definitely stacks either up to 3 or 4 times. Test it on a lox that has high HP. Throw the first fireball, see what the dot value is then imediately shoot another one and you will see the mob burns for more. Its not double the damage so that rules out a second instance of the burn debuff so that can only mean that its a stacking debuff that has to cap at around 3 or 4 instances, maybe 5.

I've actually tested it as well and it seems like Crits can happen and that will cause the DoT to increase in damage, but having a non-crit happen after a Crit reduced the DoT damage for me.

Wait, what? There are crits in this game? I know theres a weak-neutral-strong system color-coded to gray-white-yellow for damage types but i never knew there was actually a crit mechanic? I could swear i kept hitting lox's and the dot damage went 27-36-44 or something of the sort.
I think what happens is that the dot fully runs out, and subsequent shots dont refresh it but they increase the dot instance damage until the debuff goes out?
