Does tick damage stack?

Say I got two Paladins both with Holy Fire as the equipped aura. Would monsters take double the damage (i.e. the auras proc once each), or would they simply proc at the same time, meaning only the highest aura is the effective one?

Monsters suffer the damage done by both auras which are applied separately.

So if I run around with 8 Dreamer Paladins, a monster will be hit by AOE damage 8 times per tick? Are they applied at the same time? (i.e. if all 8 auras tick on the exact same time, would the combined damage bring the monster into hit recovery?)

They will each be applied independently.

But aren't the pulse times universal?

But aren't the pulse times universal?

Remember when G-mercs ware about?

(A G-merc was when there was a glitch with Holy Fire/Holy Shock where an Act 3 merc equipped with runewords granting those abilities could be glitched so that they sent out thousands of shockwaves in each pulse. This killed any non-immune in a single hit.

In PvP even with 95% resist you died in a single hit because several thousand times 1 or 2 damage still kills.

But if you had a relatively small bit of magic damage reduced by X (IIRC) you took no damage, because the 1000+ pulses were all applied separately.

Thanks for that info.
