Yes. There are two ways to prevent powers from stacking in the game:
1. "Does not stack from same caster" flag on a power effect.
2. Being [Vengeance], or the Widow equivalent.
The latter is due to a mode created specifically for Vengeance. Veng puts the target in "Vengeance Mode", and Vengeance won't cast itself on a target in Vengeance Mode. Other powers set modes (Dual Blades has a set of modes to operate the combos, and Swap Ammo works by modes), but I suspect the devs want to keep the number of such modes low, as it merely complicates things.
The former is found all over the place. But since powers like Acid Mortar have effects originating from a pet, rather than from you, summoning multiple pets creates multiple -- different -- casters for the "non-stacking" effects.
In short: Acid Mortar stacks because it must stack.

You can stack Vengeance. You just have to do it within the same server tick. (a popular tactic is to have two or more people queue Vengeance on a dead teammate our of range and a third recall friend the dead teammate within range.)

The plan seems complex by teaming standards. It's enough of a Rubick's Cube to just get others to "Don't kill my anchor."

Oh Vengeance is pretty popular...at least on the teams I play in.. for some reason my friends refer to me as the Vengbait...
Seriously though, Vengeance is a great tool to go along Fallout and Rez and it helps everyone near it (beside the dead man
)

In all fairness acid mortar does say this. As do a lot of powers that stack in the way that we want them too (ie multiple castings).|

But acid mortar says it so that it doesn't stack with itself as each tick of the debuff lasts longer than 5 seconds, rather than preventing a second mortar from working in addition to the first. It can be confusing though.

That's not what's intended by Vengeance mode, though |

Electro, what game is your avatar from?
Thanks for the help all. I did a respec and went Mu patron and included thunderstrike and fences. The build is working perfectly. Bots still die, but other stuff dies quicker.

I know I can place 2, but are the effects actually stacking with each other? This is for a robots/traps mastermind. I am just wondering since we got a respec with the issue. I am about to respec him, just trying to get the final slotting down. I would like to just re-adjust minor things, but if he can go from being crazy to insane, I will move as many slots as I have to.
