Problem with same ability based spells

[Seth21]

I just noticed this annoying thing. Lets say you have two spells based on the same ability, for example acid bomb, and you cast them on the same target. What you'll get is the effect of the last spell that was casted but with duration equal to the longer one of the two spells. So you can first cast a spell that has a long duration but little damage and afterwards cast a spell with small duration but a lot of damage. The result will be a spell with a lot of damage and long duration...Any solutions on this?

Not that I know of, this has always been this way. Base your spells off of different spells.

Its not so easy to base every spell on other spell especially when you have many spells. I hate blizzard
Any other ideas?

No, this is the only solution. Abilities that share the same ID's have low chance of effectively producing what you want. Acid Bomb is of unit target, so, Channel/Cripple/Shockwave/bla bla.

Base your abilities on:

1. Acid Bomb
2. Negative Rejuvenation
3. Soul Burn (also adds silince effect)
3. Channel (with differend ''Base Order ID'')

Learn more about channel here.

If you base it on channel, create dummy unit that casts ''Acid Bomb'' Spell on target. Don't forgot to change buff on Acid Bomb.

well, basically you can base your spells on the same spell, the only thing you need to make sure is that you don't give 2 abilities with same base spell to the same unit (just a note if you really have many spells)
