Has anyone studied the stacking effects of the type 18 and type 19 augs that go into chase loot? Specifically things like Whispering Midnight Attacker & Blazing Euphoria Attacker ( +5 vs +7 to accuracy ) +7% or +12% total ? http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=133320 http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=133336 Whispering Midnight Soothing & Blazing Euphora Soothing ( +2 vs +3 % healing mod ) = 3% or 5% total ? http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=133331 http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=133347 If someone has a full setup of chase gear evolved up to the point where you get 1 type 18 + 2 type 19's what is the best combination for melee DPS, Tank, Healer?
+12% +3% Melee dps is technically debatable, as some will say some amount of survivability is worth sacrificing some amount of dps for. They're wrong. Max hDex: Blazing & Whispering Enhancement Blazing & Whispering Assaulting (something) Blazing & Whispering Attacker Secret & Weeping Dire Blazing Soothing & (something) Defense - for the 6hDex Blazing & Whispering Casting Fire for rangers, Protecting (something) for non-rangers - mostly for the 6/5hDex Casters Blazing & Whispering Enhancement Blazing & Whispering Casting (something) Blazing & Whispering Assaulting (something) Secret & Weeping Hikmas, Baraeas, Quas Tanks -- there's apparent divide on fashion for tanks, but max tankiness for raiding would be like Blazing & Whispering Enhancement Secret & Weeping Dires, Baraeas, Quas Blazing & Whispering Defender Blazing Ventral Defense Blazing Soothing
As Brohg said, the effects don't stack. Do note, however, that If you happen to have both equipped, make sure the 3% mod is in a lower item slot (i.e. item slot ID value is lower) than the 2% mod; otherwise, you'll get 2% instead of 3%. It takes the value of the first one it sees (e.g. put 3% in gloves and 2% in ring to make sure you get 3%).
Type 18 and 19 Ventral augs DO NOT stack focuses Type 18 and 19 Dorsal augs DO NOT stack focuses Type 18 and 19 Soothing augs DO NOT stack focuses Type 18 Dorsal and Type 19 Ventral DO stack (and visa versa) Type 18 and 19 Defender (soft cap ac) DO stack Type 18 and 19 Attacker (accuracy) DO stack Type 18 and 19 Casting DO stack Type 18 and 19 Assaulting DO stack Type 18 and 19 Defending DO stack Type 18 and 19 Protecting of same resist DO NOT stack Type 18 and 19 Warding of same resist DO NOT stack
Thank you for the answers. If I may be so bold. How do you know which things stack and which do not? Are folks parsing to find out ? or ... ?
Looking at lucy stacking, basically all of this is incorrect. Also, they don't stack with focus in the new augs according to lucy. Are you using another method? Parsing it out perhaps? Well, basically nothing stacks within the same line whether 18, 19 TBL or TOV according to LUCY.
The only thing lucy stacking does is check for other spells with the same spell effect in the same slot. In some cases for buffs, this creates a conflict where you cannot have both effects on you at the same time (only one buff will stick). As these are items, that doesn't happen and lucy's stacking information is inapplicable. The only thing that matters here is whether or not the SPAs the individual augs use stack, which needs to be determined via testing.
Thank you for the reply. Very informative, just trying not to waste precious velium....my precious....
Here I am, necro'ing this thread, but I've been asked a question I can't answer with certainty, so I turn to you. Lucky you! Which ones of the ToV augs stack with their TBL counterparts? I would *think* that the stacking is the same - Soothing is no. Proccing is yes. Basically like the above post states, but just expanded to 4 augs rather than just 2. Is this correct, or do some of the TBL "do not stack" thing turn into "stack but only 1 TBL and 1 ToV"?
It is indeed the same goes as above. Highest Soothing, Protecting, Warding, Ventral and Dorsal Defense. The rest continues to stack. 4 Attacker or Defenders stack. The procs all work together in harmony from all 4 sets.
They stack with the same TBL counterparts that Covennx mentioned. That is, all 4 accuracy augs stack, all 4 proc augs stack, etc. And the respective defensive and soothing augs only take the highest modifier.
