Delve helmet mods
|
Hey guys, just wanna know if the delve mod, " Nearby enemies have -9% to X resistance" stacks. Meaning to say if multiple players in a party or an animated guardian has this sort of helmet other than yourself, is the effect on nearby enemies cumulative?

I have not tested this, but with about 98% certainty I would say that it does't stack. (For the same resistance of course. One player wearing a -fire and another wearing a -cold helmet should debuff both resistances.)
I would be happy to be proven wrong though. Last edited by Abdiel_Kavash#5296 on Oct 5, 2018, 11:04:14 PM

what makes you certain it doesn't?
i'd be certain it does. there seems to be no indication in its wording or the mechanic itself that it shouldn't stack. |

Instances of the same buff or debuff never stack, unless explicitly made to do so. The effect with the highest magnitude is applied.
Come pvp me in DSC, we can test this. Last edited by Abdiel_Kavash#5296 on Oct 5, 2018, 11:31:05 PM

i wouldn't think this would be considered a debuff. i guess that would be the determining factor. i guess it could be a debuff, and if it was then you're right it wouldn't stack

Alright, I tested this in PvP with my second account.
Control: Target dummy with 0% all resistances. No gear or passive points. Me with a -9% fire resist helmet: Target has -9% fire res, one debuff icon. Me with a -9% fire helmet, AG with a -9% fire helmet: Target has -9% fire res, one debuff icon. Me with a -9% lightning helmet, AG with a -9% fire helmet: Target has -9% fire and lightning res, two debuff icons. Conclusion: Multiple sources of the "Nearby Enemies have -#% to (element) Resistance" fossil modifiers with the same element do not stack. Modifiers with different elements stack. I have also found out that an animated guardian without a weapon can still punch and kill people. Now I wonder about interactions with Facebreakers and Chains of Command. [Edit] If someone has a Crown of the Tyrant they're willing to let me borrow for a minute, I can test that as well; but I'm not paying an exalt for it out of my own pocket. My guess is that it would stack with the suffix mod, as they are different effects. Last edited by Abdiel_Kavash#5296 on Oct 6, 2018, 12:08:26 AM

There might be one or two exceptions out there somewhere that I can't think of right now, but pretty much anything that lets one entity affect another entity's stats is a buff or a debuff; and as such subject to stacking rules.

" Does the Aberrant Fossil helmet mod "Nearby Enemies have -9% to Chaos Resistance" stack with Occultist's Void Beacon ascendancy node? |
