Can you stack unstoppable (for instance using burnout) and if so, what happens?

you can't

Using burnout and activating Unstoppable again will replace your current unstoppable buff with a fresh one

that said I am unsure if the crash will happen the moment you hit the new unstoppable or at exactly 2 min after hitting it the first time.

In any case you'll never bypass the crash. Once upon a time when unstoppable was permable players still had to manage the crash even though it refreshed the bonuses

As far as I know, the crash on the first unstoppable will be canceled and replaced with the crash from the second unstoppable. You'll get one crash, two minutes after the second unstoppable activation.

Thank you. I have a SO Invulnerability build I am using as an experiment. I will test this. PS, that is 3 minutes per Unstoppable. If I can manage 5 1/2 solid minutes out of it this power might be worth it.

So if you time it right you can get almost 4 minutes of Unstoppable instead of 2? (leveraging Burnout)

That's pretty cool.

Also, since one Unstoppable caps pretty much everything, stacking it would be pretty pointless, even if it was possible. You're never going to get over the hard cap for resistance. Not even if you had 30 Unstoppables active at once.

Just fyi though, if it's anything like most buffs, if you activate it then go through a loading screen before using it again, it would probably stack. Though, like Claws said, it's generally not necessary, unless you really need the extra end recovery or mez protection.

Incidentally, this is not true for Elude. Elude only has an endurance crash, but that crash isn't reset by stacking Elude. Stack Elude, and you'll experience both crashes. I think in general, health crashes reset, endurance-only crashes do not. Power Surge, for example, resets and that means only one crash, but also only one EMP burst.
