The only buff stacking guide you need

Gonna tell my kids this was ehroar

Underrated

So.. can you make this clear to me. Tether does 30% debuff right off the bat. Divinity does 15%. Divinity and Tether DO NOT STACK? I ask this specific question because me and my fireteam usually do BOTH Tether AND Divinity because we thought they stack.

if u use lumina while in well , would lumina buff overwrite the well or u will just get 25% buff ?

does frenzy stack?

Really good videos

Side note, wrathweavers on warlock stack with well but not for "super" damage so the person who places the well won't get the buff, allowing stasis rockets to deal 15% in addition to the well buff, I think lumina allows stacking as well but I don't know

good stuff, keep it up

Radiant is 15%

Straight to the point very concise and informative video that not to many people understand but with your help more of the community can hit huge DPS numbers

they should make well better in grandmaster content

What about weapons of light? Does that count as a surge?

great video, thanks for the explainations

Mask of bakris is the only exotic surge armour worth using imo. It’s still pretty good in a only dps hunter build as stasis melees reload your weapons allows you to get some pretty juiced damage.

X3 solar weapon surge with radiant?

God I miss Argent Ordnance

Bait and switch combo with lumina in a team pve setting is cracked

Did you know that a void bebuff nade can exstend the duration of tractor debuff unless they patched it with the last patch i havesnt read the patch notes yet

More "One more thing of note", since any small details are good to add to avoid confusion, any internal perks effecting weapons all stack with each other, and are applied before rest of the buffs. This makes high damage boosting perks even better than you'd think, since the difference between vorpal's 10% and surrounded's 40% (yes its that high) isn't actually 30%, but post buff stacking, almost 60%.

This also follows along with most exotic armor perks that effect ability damage that aren't in the newly revamps stacking surge mods, like syntho's, wormgods, winters guile, star eaters. Though these don't have much relevance, since the only thing from the global effects these interact with are debuffs, neither surge mods or empowering effects increase ability damage, unless tied to the ability in some way. (Technically golden gun stacks with kinetic surge mods, but thats an exception not a rule, tho that buff likely stacks multiplicatively with star eaters and debuff + radiant buff intrinsic to the super, hence why it does so much damage)

So radiant and solar weapon surges don’t stack with each other correct?

Could you run three surge leg mods and then mask of Bakris for 7?

Thanks for the info. I just got back into D2 like the last week of defiance/first week of deep. I thought everything seemed more corny (especially being hunter and no more powerful friends).

Thanks! This was great

Explained in a simple way, great video

What’s the robe you got on ?

Great stuff. So hard to explain buff stacking sometimes because of how often it changes. Thanks for this 👑.

I know its a bug but two tailed fox has a very fun interaction with surge mods it benefits from diffrent surge mods. so you can make the highest burst rocket in the game. On the hunter with rajus you get 25% arc(for i think 20s) and 2 void and a solar. so 17% and 10% extra dmg that should be a ~60% over all dmg increase but after i tested it it was more a 80% dmg increase. I don't know why but thats bungie for you. XD

Now we need the passive dmg - poison. Strand. Volt.

Omg thank you for this, just returned to D2 after a long break and was confused as to how the new mod system worked. Thank you for explaining it so flawlessy!

This is how I use my buffs through a damage phase. The loadout consists of Izanagi + Apex predator. Exotic is sanguine. Start on strand and the super + rift. Then quickly swap to solar and do a rocket swap combo w bait and switch. This gives 22% damage to sniper and 17% to RL. All the extra damage and a one off super to top. Thoughts?

You know, with how much Bungie murdered the recharge granted from Starfire, they could at least make radiant count as empowered damage. I mean, dawn chorus gives 6.5% more frequently than Starfire, to the point it's barely noticeable. You absolutely cannot tell when the 2.5% from Starfire happens.

Lucent Blade Is Still On Chest Piece it was not removed

Where does the No Backup Plans Shotgun damage boost fit into this? I don’t believe it’s surge damage, so would it stack with all the rest?

But how do strand debuffs work? Sever and unravel are confusing

So can I stack Bakris arc/stasis surge with leg arc/stasis surge for a x7 total arc/stasis surge?

You’ve earned my like .

Ok but can u carry me in Ron 👏😏

Some raid mods do stack in a separate category. Mods such as enhanced relay defender and superstructure defender are such examples. Also, a player standing in their own well deals 35% increased weapon damage.

I'm glad you mentioned lumina, I never see it in any raid LFG and I sometimes forget to use it myself.

Fun fact - dual element weapons (like TT fox and conditional finality) gain benefits from both their elements trough surges, and because of stacking, a catalyzed TTF can gain surge from all three elements, (solar, arc, void) without diminishing returns, for a 30% buff. - this can get up to a 52% with Bakris giving 25% from a 4x arc surge, a double stacked solar surge for 17%, and a single stack void surge for another 10 (solar and void can be swapped

Does that mean I'm wasting mod slots by running Lucky Pants with kinetic surge mods?

Mantle battle harmony gives x4 given you get a kill while super full

The damage buff from Sanguine Alchemy actually stacks multiplicatively with Empowering Rift and Debuffs. I’m beginning to think this is the case with other exotic armor that grants weapon surge type damage boosting (e.g. Mask of Bakris, Eternal Warrior).

Can i have that rhulk lock transmog

I miss buff stacking in season 7 ):

if i use lets say 3 arc surge mods and eternal warrior do those stack?

So does this mean the revamped exotcis (like eternal warrior and mask of bakris) give a better weapon buff overall?

Thanks for keeping things as short and as simple as possible with this.
