Reactive/ward stacking

[Meatwaggon]

<p>Got into a discussion the other day with a friend about heal stacking, specifically reactives and wards.  He was under the impression that spells like Supplicant's Prayer and Repent are overwritten if another healer (Templar) casts them on the same target after you do, but I thought I had read somewhere that it has subsequently been made it so that both spells are active and that the first heal cast gets chewed up first.  I certainly don't see my heals disappearing off the tank mysteriously without absorbing any damage whenever we have two Temps in the raid.</p>

<p>I've had issues on my inq in the past where I was casting reactives, and in the same group a mystic was in and he was casting wards.</p><p>The reactives would still proc with the ward, so the ward would absorb all the damage and the reactive would still proc. Don't know if it's still like that as that was 6 or 7 or 8 months or a long time ago.</p>

<p>Cleric reactives don't stack.  Shamen wards don't stack.  Druid hots don't stack.  Repent doesn't stack with another repent.  Your friend is correct.</p>

<p>As others have said, if you have 2 templars and 1 casts vital intercession and followed by the other the 2nd cast will just completely overwrite the first spell.  This also is true if an inquisitor casts their reactive right after a templar casts theres.</p><p>One of my pet peeves during TSO was when someone would repeatedly cast their reactive overwriting my templar's when I was in the MT group with Coercive healing.  The reactives don't care whether you have gravitas, CH, or anything else improving them they'll get overwritten, the only case they may not allow them to be overwritten is potentially master vs expert of the same tier, but in that case you still only have one reactive heal on the target.</p>
