does poison stack with bleed?
so after rummaging in the wiki for about 20 mins trying to gather info on the DoT changes in 3.0, I seem to understand that you can't stack multiple instances of DoT, like burning and bleed, at once. However, the wiki says (or at least i think it does) that poision does still stack and work with other DoT's at the same time. Is this true?

Aditionally, I was hoping if anyone could shed some light on the difference (if any) between "increased damage over time" and the "increased damage with ailments from attack skills".

You can inflict as many poison debuffs on an enemy as you like, it tracks their damage and timings individually.

"increased damage with ailments from attack skills" specifically excludes any spells (say the burn from a fireball). Furthermore it excludes anything that isn't an ailment ( see list at https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ailment ), so e.g. the caustic arrows AoE effect (which is not considered poison or the like).

So increased damage with ailments would increase bleed damage, correct? Additionally, you can stack bleed and poison together, right? Just askin cuz i never made a DoT build before and I wanna try it. Originally I wanted to do pure bleed but I can pick up some nodes that have both poison and bleed with a lioneye's fall, so I figured I'd do both.

Yes you can. "Ailment" damage increases both of them.

Remember that there are tools to enable blacklisting on poe.trade, e.g. https://github.com/POEMisaMisa/POE-Trade-Userscript/ - so if you have bad trade experiences with some users... you may skip their offers the next time (or if you see someone not selling but price "fixing") without needing to rely on the ingame block option.

I can usually spot price manipulators pretty easily. I can't complain too much, I've taken advantage of it and made profit using their own manipulation listings, which at least to me are easy to spot, especially in the currency market. I've also gotten lucky and bought from people who fell for the price fixing. Bought a lioneye's fall for 8c 3 weeks ago. I never said I was a saint...
