Herald of Plague + Contagious Contamination (Pathfinder ascendancy node) - Do they stack?
Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone here has tested if these actually stack and how they interact with each other when combined? Ideally they will spread the 2 most damaging toxins or the most damaging twice, which would help with clearing a lot I think.
I see that Skadoosh has the Fart Pathfinder where he states that they stack . I would assume that he has tested this so it is a reliable resource.

The other results when googling claim that they don't stack though so I am not sure who to believe

I would also attempt to test this myself, but I am not quite where/how to go about testing stuff like this.
Thanks

Yes. It's been shown on stream multiple times to spread further with both
They should stack and both spread the most damaging poison as long as your poison limit is at least 2. But maybe it is spaghetti code and works differently 😀
Im running this build and those doesnt seem to stack poison effects. The hinder and larger aoe from herald of plague is nice though together with the temporal chains aura. He said in his youtube guide that "contagious contamination" is not useful but youll need to spec it to get "overwhelming toxicity". I do wonder if i could drop both and instead spec on the potion tree and chug potions with eternal youth for extra survival. In his video guide he wanted to drop travelling wisdom and running assault instead but that 6 extra passives is too good to give up imo. Those extra passives could go to more ES or block chance "flashy deflection". I wish there was an evasion/es shield base since im struggling to reach 60% evasion. The real struggle with this build is the movespeed. I only die to those bs one shot mechanics and sometimes get sorrounded and cornered if i mess up doing the weapon swap or i blinked in a bad corner.
