I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to explain debuff limits on raid bosses... I have both a 70 lock and 70 shadow priest and was curious how this works in 25 mans. I dont recall ever seeing one of my dots/mind flay/VE be canceled out or resisted on a raid boss because of the debuff limit... does the wow UI warn you or state that you cannot apply another debuff because it has reached the limit.
My previous guild had multiple kills on Gruul and VR and our group make up usually looked like this for applying Debuffs.
3 Warlocks - 2 affliction 1 Demo (2UA, 2 Siphon Life, 3 CoA, 3 Corrup and 3 immolates and sometimes the %20 to non periodic shadow dmg depending on our crits)
1 Shadow Priest - VE, VT, SW:P
Shaman - Stormstrike
Warriors - Sunder, Bleed, Rend, Demo Shout, Thunderclap
Mages - Ignite, Scorch
That is way more than 16 debuffes on the mob at one time - now the guild was pretty good about keeping those dot's up at all times... Maybe I just wasnt paying close enough attention or were the dot's applied but just not ticking damage.
I have been playing this game for almost two years now and have finally decided to admit my newbhood and ask the question.

DuTempete: Patchnotes. I think 1.11, maybe 1.12.. don't remember honestly. Possibly 2.0 actually ...
And as far as i know there is no priority debuff list, so either its first come first serve, or last come first serve... I always thought it was the latter.

I know that back in the day, it used to be 16. However, I swear that I remember them changing that in a patch to 40.
But as far as raw functionality goes, my understanding is that when you've reached the max number, it's first come first serve. So, if a dot drops, and someone casts one before you do, theirs sticks and yours doesn't. There is no warning, or resist, it just doesn't stick.
If anyone knows where to find a citation for the quantity of 40, we're still looking for one on WoWWiki. Let me know!
Back in the day, it used to be 8 :) /old

says that the max is indeed 40 these days.
