DOTs do not stack on critical heat or % on hit

Hello,

After several hours of play on this season, I have the impression that the DOT does not stack when the effect of "proc" comes from a critic or a % on hit. The effect comes on once and then after a second stack does not happen. Is it a wanted mechanic?

They can stack from procs (which is the intent), and I've used a couple of builds which verify that it can work. But you're right that there are definitely some cases which are broken. I'm aware of at least one with arc blades which causes the channeled attack to only stack dots from certain sources and not others. My guess is there are plenty of others. I can't solve this for us, obviously, but it might help to describe a couple of specific, concrete scenarios that you've run into so that it's a bit easier for the devs to track down the bugs.

I have encountered this phenomenon with:

- The passive spontaneous combustion

- In laspistol with 40% to burn on hit

- A two-handed ax (crusader) with bleeding when crit

Same observation with a purity seal which bleeds on critical hit.

The weapon used is an autogun and I was able to test with the first three attacks of the weapon (I have more than 40% critic)
