Stacking buffs

[Kattastrof]

I have tried google and forum search. Did not find what I was looking for.

Where can I find wich buffs and debuff stacks?
I know armor pots doesnt stack with armor skills and tactics. Is it the same for everything?

Probably easier if you just tell us what the exact scenario you are looking for an answer to.

That is why I asked for directions.
So many classes have single stats buffs and debuff.
Whats the point if a bo or a chosen already buffs a stat.
SM have 2? Armor buffs but if they dont stack, why bother
I want to know the rules. Not examples

Thanks anyway

Buffs/debuffs from abilities, or tactics that specifically modify abilities (When you use X ability you gain Y or Debuff X) do not stack with each other or with pots. Abilities would include anything you have to actively use or apply/turn off on like auras.

Only thing that doesn't follow these rules that I know of is engineer/magus armor buff. Some things like the BO physical damage reduction ability in the middle tree will stack with damage reductions to non specific damage like challenge/bellow. Damage reduction is as far as I know split into outgoing damage reductions like above, and incoming damage reductions like guard, or detaunt (which don't stack), but say guard and challenge will stack.

There are probably a few other stipulations like maybe the shaman toughness debuff tactic?

just delete your blackguard if you have one :^)

>SM armor buffs

pretty much bad, even on live when you had more options for defensive potions.

Armor pot doesn't stack with armor buff abilities even though they are "TANKS"!
Tanks at least should be composited with something like a wound pot !

No, armor potions should be deleted entirely.

[Kattastrof]

Sounds like a good dream. Would resist pots disappear aswell?
A issue would be balancing dmg vs healers

Agreed.
