Just giving it a little bump, Can't have Geko's responses go the way of the expired threads.

So in terms of strategy/tactics a bad group says "No, we already have a Kinetics Defender" and a good group adds a 2nd or a thrid. Same with Bubbly Defenders. A group of 3 Kintetic Defends, 1 tank, 3 Blasters/Scrappers and a Controller is probably one of the better groups.

Not really. . . the best defense in the game is still just killing everything uber fast and defenders and tanks work against that. Plus, one controller does all the support jobs better than a tank or a defender combined and with pets they do better damage output. So your "best" groups are still one good controller and as many blasters as you can find.

But that is from a min/max stand point for maximum xp/time. You can do quite well with any group mix as long as the players behind the heroes are intelligent and work well together and exactly for the reasons you just gave.

I have to agree with the first post, You might not need 3 kinetics defenders, but if you make one an empath, that is a pretty solid group.

You have to be more specific. Some debuffs do stack. For example, with kinetics, I can siphon power multiple times. If I hit a target twice they get -50% dmg (-25 plus -25). It also stacks the buff for +40% dmg (+20 plus +20) to me and those near me.

Well that kinda basically answer's my question. I was talking with my roommate and I said that if I took a radiation defender, I would try out taking the first fast attack they get and 6-slotting it for defense debuff. It has like a 1 sec act. and a 1.5 sec recharge, so I would just spam that defense debuff. Then he says thats pointless because debuffs do NOT stack from the same power. And I said, yes they do, Geko even posted that they do. But alas the post has expired. So are there any DEBUFFS that do not stack with itself.

One other point, as far as I know, Parry stacks with itself and its a personal buff. Is that true? I was under the impression that buffs from the same power do not stack with themselves. But I may be wrong about this.

Hello all!

Question for those in the know, does a debuff from the same power stack with itself?

I believe buffs don't stack, but debuffs do however I am not certain so I'm asking, thanks in advance.
