The double stacking works for the cold shields and thermal shields as well.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

The zoning trick works for just about any click buff(or debuff if it were possible for an enemy to go though a loading screen) that uses the "doesnt stack from same caster" flag.


There are very few exceptions to it.

Off hand, Mystic Fortune, but that's not really a buff in itself so much as it's a *grant random temp power to target*

A short list of buffs for defenders that work of the top of my head:

[Cold Domination]
The 2 shields, frostwork

[Empathy]
Fortitude, Adrenelin boost, Clear mind(the auras would work too but they aren't perma-able)

[Force Field]
The 2 Force fields

[Kinetics]
Speed Boost, Inertial Reduction, Increase Density(This is already stackable, but normally doesnt stack the smashing/energy damage resistance, with the zoning trick, it it does)

[Radiation Emission]
Accelerate Metabolism

[Sonic Resonance]
The 2 shields, Clarity

[Thermal Radiation]
The 2 shields, Thaw

By the way, this doesn't work, it will replace the buff with the weaker version, I tested it once on my empath with fortitude.

For clarification as it looks like some different opinions on the matter:

Zoning to stack bubbles - good
Reapply bubble on top of a powerboosted one while in same instance - bad, it overwrites it with the lower value

I highly recommend using the zoning trick on any buffs it applies to (list provided in a previous post). It is very powerful and can really smooth out the early mission fumbles that often occur.

I don't hold up the team to make it happen, but hit whoever I can and try to make sure I get double buffs on the main people drawing aggro.

Bubble outside door + PBU bubble inside door = carte blanche for squishies to go solo some cysts on the 2nd ITF mission.
