Queen Pasiphae: Dispel Magic: 167,554/137,340 (134,043)
The Minotaur: Dispel Magic: 6,911/7,181 (5,528)

How does my minion "The Minotaur" do this:

The Minotaur cast Dispel Magic on all enemy Minions (139,571)

with only this much Dispel Magic: 6,911/7,181 (5,528) trained?

Stack Stack Stack

THe Minotaur is a result of stacking....

My understanding of stacking was that DM of 2 + DM of 1 does not equal DM of 3.

Dispell magic adds up like other spells such as AS.


So the Queen casts it for x amount and The Minotaur adds to her casting. The number by The Minotaur is the final effect.

Switch The Minatour to the front and fight and youll see a difference.

I have 2 Dispel Magic's too they stack..

QBJohnnywas October 16 2005 12:46 PM EDT

the amount showing after the Minotaur is the total of the two's stacking, not the Minotaur's effect.

DM is a spell that stacks linearly like Haste or EC.

Since its effect is 80% of the effective level its linear in that regard.

My AS is linear too sort of. Mainly it's easy to tell what my hp will be since I have 3 AS around I can already see that my hp cast will be about 5-10k higher than 1 of my AS levels.

Each minion that casts it's own same spell as the one before it will cast at a higher level because it adds the previous spell to it's own.

All enchantments do stack in exactly the same way. In this case, it's stacked as 167,554+6,911=174,465. As it happens, DM is perfectly linear, with effect=0.8*level, so the effect of this stacked DM is 174,465*0.8=139,572. Only a small rounding error, but all else is working as intended.

When stacking, the cumulative effect is always printed, not the individual. This is mainly important for enchantments that are not linear (AMF to name one), where you can't find out this cumulative effect by just adding up the numbers.
