So acid blade adds a DoT to your next hidden strike or backstab.

 

So if you do:

Acid blade

Hidden strike

Acid blade

Backstab

 

Does that mean your target has 2 acid blade DoTs ticking on them? Does the armor penetration stack?

It definitely doesn't stack. I *think* it refreshes, though I haven't paid enough attention to be sure actually. Acid Blade does cost energy, though, so think hard about whether you need to use it again if it's already up.

The armor pen definitely doesn't stack, especially because it's a buff to you and not a debuff to the target (which logically it feels like it should be). Considering the DOT is only 6 seconds to begin with I can't imagine attempting to stack it would be worthwhile, although I don't know if it's possible or not.

yes the dots stack if you do that not the armor pen

 

Sorry I'm wrong, it just refreshes the dots. Same with the AP

They don't stack - but as mentioned the duration is just 6 seconds (or 4 GCD's) so just do HS > Shiv > Lac > RS > AB+BS and you'll refresh it as it ends. There's some discussion on openers here that you might find interesting.
