A question about the demon spiked mace (and other DOT-weapons)

Questions about the demon spiked mace (and other DOT-weapons)

The DF-merchants appear to sell all kinds of weapons with a DOT-spell on it.
For example:

The Demon Spiked Mace:

Magical Bonuses:
Blunt: 2 pts
Empathy: 6 pts

Magical Ability:
Function: dmg-over-time
Damage per tick: 50
Duration: 20 seconds
Casting time: 3 seconds


I was wondering a few things about weapons like that:

- How many ticks does a weapon give?
- Does it stack with, for example, the druid DOT?
- Is the spell resistable (I assume it is)?
- Does it indeed take 3 seconds to cast it, and is it therefore interruptable? (I ask this because proc. weapons appear to have a casting-time too, although you never really notice it)
- Is a weapon like that a good asset for a druid? (level 41 atm)

Thanks for reading (and hopefully answering)

- How many ticks does a weapon give?

depends on how fast it ticks, 4-5 ticks is my guess for the 20 secs

- Does it stack with, for example, the druid DOT?

Think it does.

- Is the spell resistable (I assume it is)?

Yes, I have got proccs resisted so eveen this one should be resistable

- Does it indeed take 3 seconds to cast it, and is it therefore interruptable? (I ask this because proc. weapons appear to have a casting-time too, although you never really notice it)

No it should work as a normal procc

- Is a weapon like that a good asset for a druid? (level 41 atm)

I guess there are far worse wepons...

I have an Accursed Demon Long Sword. It's very nice, but I only started using it recently, because it didn't start doing the DoT thingy until lvl 44.

Dunno how much that helps.

[edit]
5 ticks.
Yes it stacks.
Yes it can be resisted.
