Does anyone know whether Queen's Ensnare and Devourer's Acid Spore effect on attack rate stack, i.e., have a combined effect?
I.e., will air units fire at a slower rate if they suffer both effects?
(For those that do not know: Queens will slow, besides movement rate, the rate of fire depending on unit type; it is believed that it slows the attack animation, i.e., units that have a shorter anmiation will be slowed less than other units; and there are other exceptions.)
Inspired by this thread: http://tsunamisstrategyforum.yuku.com/forum/viewtopic/id/469
(Ensarre experiment details me also be found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=41799#15)
ANSWER: Yes, they do stack. I.e., a unit which has been target of a Devourer and an Ensnare will fire slower than with only one effect on it. The exact reduction is unclear, but it has been posted that acid spores reduce attack rate for about 50%, while Ensnare may generally be around 15%.

I'm not sure if ensnare stacks (because I don't use queens that much :O ), but when things have acid spores on them, it says acid spores (8) or something, so I think that matters? (Maybe the slow doesn't stack, but the damage does? I'm not really sure.)

Every effect stacks in SC.

More Acid Spores cause slower attack rate, not sure about the queen so I'm not going to say anything

lool more ensnares dont do anything other than refreshing the duration of the ensnare

I don't think any of you read the question properly (except ForAdun if he's right), I think he's asking if both of them on the same unit at the same time stacks...
edit: I'm pretty sure they do stack but not 100% positive.

I don't think the responses so far understand your question. lol
I'm not really a great zerg user though but I am pretty sure that they do stack.
ah noobienoob and I were posting at about the same time.

Ensnare does NOT stack.
Acid spores DO stack.

Thats not what hes talking about. He isn't talking about the spells individually. He is talking about when you are combining them together.
Like if you have a wraith with devourer spores, and a queen ensnares it, will it feel the effects of BOTH the spores AND the ensnare.

Wrong answer...
He is asking if you have both ensnare and acid spore[s] on a unit, will both work at the same time(stack?) making it even slower..
Is that what he is asking?
|
Yeah, thats what he is asking. noobienoob and I are both like 90% sure that they do stack.
|
I just made a UMS map to test it. 1 sec.
|
They do stack together, 90% sure
|
OK. I just finished testing it. Yeah they do stack.

Too bad most of my fellow zergasaur users are too afraid to use queens

I read somewhere that Esnare slows atack rate by 20 % . Devourer acid spores add damage , amount in ( ) , ie (9) = unit dmg + 9 dmg , also decreases speed dramaticaly with fire rate as well.

The rate that ensnare affects attack rate is unit dependent. (Some units are not even affected!)
