Talk:Unique Attack Modifier

I noticed a discrepancy adds confusion to article. Before I get into that I want to point out that the wording throughout the article is occasionally confusing and can be improved upon. Some concepts are not conveyed as clearly as they should be.

"Note that in Dota 2, unlike DotA, Mjollnir and Maelstrom, will override other orb effects whenever they proc, meaning they can be stacked[with what, exactly]." (this states that Mjollnir and Maelstrom stack with other orb effects, right? Should add the words "with other Orb effects." to the end of that statement imo)

"Buff placers that are not Orb Effects will stack with Orb Effects, but not with each other[try "but not with other buff placers"]. For example, Lifesteal from Helm of the Dominator will stack with Orb of Venom, which is a Buff Placer only, but not with Desolator or Maelstrom, which both contain Orb Effects." (Is this stating that Helm of the Dominator won't stack with desolator or maelstrom? If so, that contradicts what the first statement stated, that Mjollnir/Maelstrom stack with other orb effects. Needs clarification)

"There are several exceptions to this, however. Mjollnir and Maelstrom currently will work with other orbs, overriding them whenever the chain lightning occurs." (This again states that Mjollnir/Maelstrom stack with other orbs)


 * Maelstrom and Mjollnir do stack with other orbs, I created the article from DotA experience without knowing the changes that were made in Dota 2. Thanks for pointing this out. Also, orb of venom is an orb effect now. I'll change it soonish. -Baloroth 18:31, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Removing Buff Placers
Buff Placers now stack with each other. Orbs that apply buffs are still cancelled by other orbs, but will work with other buff placers, e.g. Desolator stacks with Skadi but not with Satanic. We should remove this section because they don't really matter anymore. -Lancey 22:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Geminate
Geminate is not an UAM anymore afaik. The second attack will override UAM's, but other attacks (including first one of geminate) will get modified.
