I saw it on boss when he lose only 15 dmg/second instead of more dps after several wyv hits with speed of 0.8.

Tooltip says it does. Currently wyv is unit below average. It would be usefull in some situations if poison stacked as planed.

What do you mean as planned? I don't think it's indicated anywhere on the tooltip that it should stack?

No other poisons stack, so not sure why this one should.

Also in response to what you say about it being below average, I agree, but not every tower needs to be the same strength. Also it is still really good on 10 even without poison stacking.

It says ''stackable'' at tooltip.

Ah you are correct. I didn't remember that, but having checked in game I see what you mean.

I wonder if it only works when multiple Wind Riders attack? Maybe one can't stack with itself? Just a theory. It's pretty hard for me to tell how much damage is dealt by the poison, I'm impressed you could make that out. If it is as you say that it only ever deals 15 per second then I would agree it's reasonable either to change the tooltip to match what is happening or change the ability to match the tooltip. I stand by my previous statement that it isn't so bad a tower as it is.

That would not be worth pointing out in a tooltip, since they all stack with each other. Any differently named ability is going to stack, it's just multiple instances of the same ability that generally don't, such as the healing aura from witch doctor or precision aura from flying machine. Captain/Admiral have two differently named abilities, same with ice troll/shaman, overseer, etc. Gnoll poison with upg gnoll I'm not sure about but I'd expect they would stack, since they are named differently. Harpy poison not sure on.

In Hellhalt, wyvs are OP because of this. It's simple:

1 wyv = 1 poison stack (15dmg/s)
2 wyvs = 2 poison stack (30dmg/s)
3 wyvs = 3 poison stack (45dmg/s)
Poison from one wyv doesn't stack itself. But every attack from a different wyv counts as a stack. So 10 wyvs = 10 unique wyv attacks on one unit = 150dmg/s.
