One month late to this discussion, but I can confirm the behavior OP was seeing.

The issue appears to be Archetype-specific:

- Tankers display a buff, which does not stack with itself

- Brutes do NOT display a buff, and the Defense bonus DOES stack with itself

 

I don't have a Stalker or a Scrapper with Broadsword, but Stalker's behavior is likely consistent with the second screenshot above if the power has not been altered.

Personally, I feel that the power's behavior should be standardized to prevent confusion, but at the very least whether or not the power displays a buff icon should be standardized.

+1 for Divine Avalanche also on a Brute.  The buff icon disappears immediately, but the buff itself works and stacks as expected.

Sounds like it may have been by design if it's just Tanks and on both Sword sets...

What about other similar powers in Staff and TW?

I was considering this as a possibility also after running the second toon up to 16.  I confirmed Guarded Spin does stack for Tanks, with the same +15 DEF value/stack too.  It's recharge is over double that of Divine Avalanche though at almost 7 seconds unenhanced.  I don't have a TW Tank (yet, lol).

Can also now Confirm the +DEF buff from Divine Avalanche also does not stack for Tanks.   Forget these swords, I'm going back to my Rad/Rad Tanker lol...

Can confirm.  Parry's buff does not stack for Tanks as of Today on live.
