Reproach vs. Rebuke

[Bobbubski]

<DIV>Lets assume one has both apprentice 3 in both spells.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1) Do they stack and are they worth stacking?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2) Does the elemental part of Reproach affect most detrimental spells from casters/priests?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3)  Does one affect AC more than the other?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i personally try and use both when we have alot of melees in the group so they can score better hits on average.  i think i see a difference, but not totally sure.  thanks for any input.</DIV>

<DIV>I do not think it stacks...I have tried several times to stack them, but it doesnt have any affect so now I have put rebuke to the side and only use reproach.  </DIV>

Hard to say, but they do seem to stack.Reproach lowers elemental resists so fire/cold spells will do more damage with it on. Our fire dot, druid fire/cold spells, wizard spells etc. Most of the spells say what type of damage they do.This is one good reason why we need to be able to duel people.. So we can test debuffs!<p>Message Edited by wayfaerer on <span class=date_text>12-16-2004</span> <span class=time_text>10:57 AM</span>

<DIV>im pretty sure it works like this</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>well say reproach has a value of 27ac and 50 cold fire (this is made up values of course)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>now well say rebuke has an ac value of 15</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>mob x is hit with rebuke 15 ac off</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>mob x is hit with reproach 27ac 50 fire 50 cold off</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>mob x is hit with both reproach and rebuke 27ac 50 fire 50 cold off</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>so far spells seem to universally stack but i do not see a difference so i would assume they both stick but not stack keeping full effect on their unique properties and going with the stronger value of their common properties thats the way buffs work and debuffs would use the same system i would assume</DIV>
