Fixed a bug where Scorching Ray totems did not stack their damage correctly with other Scorching Ray totems.

right, so they fixed a bug where scorching ray totems did not stack their damage correctly with other scorching ray totems......but what we're trying to find out is, what is the CORRECT way scorching ray totems stack their damage?

this quote doesn't state that, or implying anything about it. just says there was once a bug about it and they fixed it.

fixed it to what? how does it function now? it doesn't say

You are quoting a thread from 2018. It has old and outdated information. Pay attention to what you are looking at...you can confuse newbies and lurkers alike. Things have changed a shit ton is 2 1/2 years, what once was a thing may not be a thing anymore.

This is something new to the past month or so.

I'm aware what am I quoting and what mechanics was or wasn't changed. Maybe you should've search some info or at least have some knowledge before blaming me for outdated proofs.

Also your advice

The best thing to do is to email suppoort@grindinggear.com and ask them that way

is just genius. Asking technical support about game mechanics?

Are you trying to find this out? I only see you did a guess and now trying to defend it.
I find this quote pretty clear, chosen wording wouldn't make much sense in opposite meaning. Also it takes like 1 minute to google a random bug report thread where people were discussed the bug and then cheered GGG for fixing it. You better spend that time for searching instead of typing confusing comments.

this post is old and as i stated i searched through the whole web -> got an answer:

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting us about this!

I'm afraid that unfortunately this isn't information that we are able to provide. However, you could try asking in the Mechanics Thread, and one of our senior developers may be able to answer this for you:

Alternatively, you could post regarding this in the Gameplay Help and Discussion section of the forums, where other players may be able to assist you: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/gameplay-discussion

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns however, please let us know!

funny thing the person didnt even read what i wrote there or opened the link to here.

if someone has a contact to ggg or another idea please help thx a lot

The damage is supposed to stack, and it has always stacked except when it's been bugged. Although it's been a while, I've done multi-SR totems myself. It works really well...when it works.

Someone posted early in the league on Reddit, and maybe here on the forums, demonstrating that it's no longer working. They did Elder kills I think, or maybe it was Uber, showing the difference in damage between 1 SR totem and like 5 or 6. There difference was...zero.

Unless GGG stealth nerfed it, it's bugged again.

so when i figure out what you want to tell me is that it should stack but it does not stack? and so it does not stack as a result? confused -.-???

It "should" stack, because that's the way it has always worked (except when it was bugged in the past). But it currently doesn't for unknown reasons. Either GGG nerfed it without saying anything about it, or it is bugged again.

Only GGG could say for sure what's going on, but they pretty much never interact with this section of the forums (or most other sections for that matter).

i tested and wrote a bug report -> for me it seems it does not stack but i have no evidence about it. theres a video on yt 3weeks ago its stated sr is bugged and wont stack at this time ... well i will post the bugreport if it gets an answer.

thx for your comments

could you check yourself if or tell me if you also have the feeling that sr is bugged and wont stack?! thx for the help again XD
