question about pally spell stack

[ButterKnifeNinja]

<DIV> <DIV>Well I see there are much more important discussions going on right now about the future of paladins, however I was hoping to get a one little thing cleared up if someone has the time. </DIV> <DIV>Here's my question...Does Blessed Weapon, Glorious Weapon, and Righteous Cause stack? I maintain all 3 but I've always wondered if they actually stack, or if only the highest one active has a chance of hitting.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And my 2 cents about the whole paladin debate...I truly hope something is done to keep the DPS from being so bad. It takes long enough to kill things on live servers as it is, if the time to kill increased significantly I would truly dread having to engage a mob, unless I have a snack around to munch on while I wait. and please, oh please don't take away any of my spells! Unless you the devs plan to compensate me for all the money I've spent buying Adept I's and such. (disclaimer - simply my 2 cents this thread is not intended to start any kind of paladin tweak discussion, as I know my simple comments would be ripped to shreads from twenty different directions) </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway I'm a lvl 41 paladin on the Lucan D'Lere server and I would love to get this question answered as I feel kind of silly not knowing for sure, I have my ideas but I prefer conformation. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV><p>Message Edited by ButterKnifeNinja on <span class=date_text>08-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>04:32 AM</span>

Id be really suprised if they do stack. Im not sure if anyone has studied it but should you wish you can give us the definitive answer: find some grey heroics; turn on logging; cast  the lowest of the line; kill 10 just with autoattack; say something so that you can pick out the end of the first stage and the start of the next; cast the next spell; kill 10 more just with autoattack; say something so that you can pick out the end of the first stage and the start of the next; cast the next spell; kill 10 more just with autoattack. The sample sizes may be too small, but anyway, the principal is the same even if you need to increase their number. Now examine your log file and count the procs in each situation, if theres a significant increase in the number of procs as the number of spells being maintained increases, then they stack. I strongly doubt they stack, however Id be quite happy to be proved wrong. Regarding the selection of concentration buffs, rather than trying to stack our proc if you're not tanking you might want to consider, one proc, redemption on someone (if you're just fighting one encounter at a time stick it on the highest dps, if theres a risk of adds stick it on the priest), two stat buffs on group members - perhaps the tank and the main priest (for the wis bonus if such is available with what spell you have). <div></div>

Even though they have different spell names, they call cast the same effect "Blessed Weapon" on your weapon. Much like trying to cast two Sparks of Strength, they don't stack.

ok, I haven't done the whole logging check (which was a good idea and thanks) but im gona agree they don't stack...cause if they did I think I'd be seeing the proc a whole lot more with what would be a 19% chance of one of them landing.
