Daft Question?

Can you cast hexes like life tap(?) on baddies multiple times (ie: within short succession). The hex lasts about 14 seconds at my current skill level, but I wanted to drain more than 1 life point per second.

as far as i am aware, layering a spell has no effect.
as a warrior, the frenzy skill can be both vital and deterimental depending on how and when you use it. but using the skill multiple times in a row does not increase the rate at which you attack, or the amount of damage you recieve while using it.
so i would imagine that hexes are the same.

if your talking about hexes like life tap, if the recharge time is lower than the spell duration and you can cats it more than once then yes i think you can. However if i'm wrong then it is easy enough to take some points away form curses/soul reaping or w/e and bung it in something else :)

there is no stacking of like things in the game.

Casting the same hex twice will only renew it. For example if you cast Life Tap it will start ticking from say 14 seconds, if you then cast it again, it will reset the counter to 14 again.

As such, dont waste time casting the same thing again.

However unlike things do stack, for example, poison and bleeding. This is the same for hexes. You can cast 3 different hexes on the same target to stack effects in this way.

The same is true for runes on armour. Same type runes will not stack.
