Question About Burnout and Stacking Debuffs

[Squints]

Hi, out of curiosity, do debuffs stack when using burnout if the debuff is from the same source? I know that LR can stack, but will other debuffs like benumb or sleet also stack?

It depends on the debuff - many are set to not stack from the same caster. Benumb, for example, is.

It really depends. At some point, debuffs stopped being self-stacking unless the "source" was a pseudopet, like Sleet, Freezing Rain, Disruption Arrow, etc.

 

Probably 95% of the exceptions to that "rule" are the legacy sets that launched with the game.

Thanks, this information is good to know.

Also, some part of the debuff can stack and other parts not stack. For example, Heat Exhaustion's -regen and -recovery can stack from the same caster, but the -damage does not.

 

This is one of those times where City of Data really helps to check specific examples; sadly not all of the pages are in the archive but since most of what you're losing are pseudopets it will still help you figure out what can stack.
