What items stack?

[khurath]

<DIV>After buying a haste cloak (spending roughly 1p 50g) and finding out that it doesn't stack with the FBSS i became a little angry.</DIV> <DIV>I know now that these two items don't stack, albeit this knowledge costed me a lot.</DIV> <DIV>I am a little frustrated because I try to spend a lot of my gaming time reading (this forum basically) and learning to play better, but apparently I am very far from a good understanding of the game rules.</DIV> <DIV>Anyway, to be able not to make the same mistake twice, how can I know if two items stack or not?</DIV> <DIV>This apply also to adornments: what adornments can go on what item?</DIV> <DIV>Is there any well defined rule?</DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Please help me because I am not a rich raiding player, hey, I'm not even 70 yet and since I have a family and a life to attend my gaming time is limited.</DIV> <DIV>Thanks to everyone.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>no two haste effects on items stack, however haste adornments do (with the exception of the 2h haste adornment).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

General rule 1: (Adornments may or may not  follow): If two items have an effect with the same name (for example, haste) they will not stack.General rule 2: You may have, for any given effect 1 each of the following: 1 self buff from each spell line; 1 proc item buff; 1 constant effect item buff, 1 buff from each line of another class.  Adornments do not seem to follow this rule.<div></div>

<P>So you mean that if I have say a sword and a pair of leggings which both give haste, only the higher of the 2 will work?<BR>If conversely one item recite "haste" and the other "attack speed" they would stack?<BR>And what adornments will work on the various items?<BR>I wouldn't like to find that, to say, two dps items don't stack by buying and attuning them.<BR>Is there some place where I can find all the working combinations of items clearly described?<BR>I am not rich and cannot go by trial and error.</P> <P>Thanks.</P><p>Message Edited by khurath on <span class=date_text>01-08-2007</span> <span class=time_text>01:08 PM</span>

In any case, you only get one haste boost from an item slot that is always on, and one that is a proc.</p>As an example, the Cloak of flames has 25% haste, and the DT access wrist item has 26% haste if I remember right. Since these are both constant effect type items, only one will  apply. However, eithe one will stack with a proc from an agility ring, which gives a temporary  attack speed boost (been a while since i've used one, I think that's the haste proc).Two agility ring procs will not stack with each other because they have the same effect name.<blockquote><p>And what adornments will work on the various items?</p></blockquote>This is usually detailed on the adornment items delve. I don't know of a comprehensive list, though i'm sure one exists somewhere. I believe all adornments stack, but My transmuter isnt' high enough to find out.<blockquote><p>I wouldn't like to find that, to say, two dps items don't stack by buying and attuning them.</p></blockquote><p>The same rules apply to dps as it does to haste, though dps items are in general much harder to find.</p><blockquote><p>Is there some place where I can find all the working combinations of items clearly described?</p></blockquote><p>The easiest thing to go by is only 1 item can natively have a haste/dps benifit, and only one item can have a haste/dps proc on it natively (that is, not as an adornment). The highest value should  apply in all cases if you have two ce or two proc items.</p><blockquote><hr></blockquote></div>
