I have a unit with a bouncing attack which I also want it to slow targeted units' speed... the slow ability is not a problem, it works for other units, but it does not stack with the bouncing attack :/

any solutions?

I think the following would work:

1. download a DDS and import it
2. check when a unit takes damage
3. if the attacker has bouncing blade slow target (with either a dummy spell or by using purely triggers)

edit: this is buggy by the way. Sadly you have to filter out spell damage and such. There is only one of the DDSs that supports that in the spell section I think, it's the one by "Looking_for_help"

Try using a frost attack instead of slow orb, since slow orbs are meant to take priority over attacks similar to lifesteal and like.

If that doesn't work, Chaosy's solution is probably better.

I see. A DDS would probably be your best bet, then?

Though, if your goal is to exclusively slow the units, Frost attack should work just fine. Poison attack takes over the glaive so it wouldn't work, unless there are mysteries of how orb effects are handled in WC3 engine.
