Abilities that dont stack
Dolza	Posted on: 2004-02-26 12:54 PM Forever and a day i've been a monk psion. I really liked the warrior aspects of being a monk and the way they dovetail with the triggers of the psion. Being able to cripple many opponents is great since i dont have a ton of hitpoints to rely on and i dont have a spectacular damroll. I took psion as a second for several reason. first and foremost for the negative triggers for mobs but the second reason was for all the self buffs. So here i am talking to a fellow mudder and he says to me, " you know that Oblivity and !pain dont stack right?" well honestly i've been out of the loop lately and after the wizlock i didn't know this. This could have been true before wizlock and i still wasn't aware. My question/problem is why not!? I can understand if the imms wanted to make the damage reduction skills work to a lesser degree if you get them from an item, wand, scroll, or potion, but I'm using class abilities! I feel like they should stack together since i bothered to take the classes. Feels like i'm being cheated out of one of the best abilities of my second class. Opinions?
