Should we talk about buffs?

[Redbeard]

So what have you guys learned about buffs so far? Do buffs stack?

Ive been looking at archon. I also have two bards. My other classes also have some group buffs.

What stacks (if anything) and what doesnt?

Wanted to start the discourse if anybody has any input.

I haven't played around much with the buffs with regards to stacking them, might try it out tonight though.

Having two Bards is nice because each can put up an anthem, I use the armor buff and the movement buff ( only two I have ) and it works well.

My Cleric has the most buffs due to all the self buffs plus picking up the two anthems and Fanfare of Vigor ( Endurance buff ). So far, that has been the extent of my experimentation, other than popping Motif of Bravery when in combat from my Bards which stack on the above buffs.

I haven't found any buffs that stack, with the exception of:
Buffs stating they have a Maximum Stack - These are typically only self-buffs as side-effect from other spells.
Heal Over Times.

**EDIT - I misinterpretted the question. As far as I can remember, I was able to have a Stamina Buff (casted) and a Stamina Scroll on at the same time, so it is possible other buffs from different classes that buff the same stat will stack.

Idk, seemed the Endurance scroll was cancelled out by my buff on my cleric. You sure about that?

Archon buffs have never been overwritten and I ran a few expert dungeons last night with 2 bards and the auras stacked with bard motifs/anthems. The Dex one came to mine because we specifically checked that.

That said, my warlock group endurance buff did not stack with clerics - but archon buffs seem to stack fine.

Ugh thats kind of what I was afraid of. Maybe when I get to 50 if its not done already ill have to start testing what works together and what doesnt since it doesnt seem consistent.

My two bards can each put up two diff motifs, so in big rifts I throw 4 motifs on the raid as well as my two fMnfares and two anthems (talented to work in combat).

[Berserker]

2 bards can put up multiple motifs. You can cast one, then cast another immediately and both stay up. The restriction is that you can only have one of any type of motif from any bard. E.g. you can have the armor motif from bard a, the heal motif from bard b, the crit motif from bard a and the attack power motif from bard b.

I just set up a multiple step key map -- step 1 does 3 motifs (I run 3 bards) and step 2 does the 4th motif using bard 3. I assigned it to a click bar button which I just double click and get all 4 motifs every time.

[Redbeard]

I guess im more worried about different classes etc. Archon and bard both have a -10% ability cost aura. Lots of o different classes have endurance buffs, or str buffs, etc.

I was thinking of the Bard's Group Endurance Buff, but I could be mistaken.
