Overload Enchantments?

Hi guys, just wondering do 2 of the same overload enchantments stack? For example if I bought 2 of the same Greater Purified Black Ice restoration overload enchantments can I get 1600 Lifesteal at one given time. I experimented for a while and although the effective time duration gets used up together, I do not get stacking for the Purified Black Ice Restoration overload enchantment...

So just wondering if I get a lesser purified black ice restoration overload enchantment can it stack with a greater version? Thanks for any help in advance.

    Two of the same kind will give you 100% uptime of the single enchant bonus. Two different type enchants will give you 50% uptime of the combined stat bonus of both enchants. I use two Greater Black Dragon enchants.

    Is this true? I've never seen my two overload enchantments stack like that before. I always wanted to know if this was possible, but since it never triggered at the same time I've always kept 2 different types of overloads.

    I did not claim that the buffs stack by wearing two of the same. What they do...do is proc one right after the other. So in the case of the Greater Black Dragon, if you want 800 crit virtually 100% of the time, you wear two. If you want the 1600 stats for 50% of the time, wear two different enchants, as they will proc at virtually the same time. To each their own. Again, I wear two Greater Black Dragons so that I have the bonus from ONE of the two up all the time. I am not the only player that does this. Read Sharpedge's CW guide. This is not new, but maybe forgotten by those players that havent tested it.

    Wait so what exactly happens if I use a Greater Black Ice Restoration Overload enchantment and combine it with a lesser Black Ice Restoration overload enchantment, do both enchanments trigger together all the time and I get 800 + 300 life steal at one time or do they trigger seperately?

    I am pretty sure if I use both Greater Black Ice Restoration overload enchantment I will not get the 1600 life steal, I tested it out a few times, so please clarify, thanks!

    I've used two Greater Corrupt Lethal for a long time, and most of the players on Xbox at least, use two of the same Overloads.

    Not sure if it always has worked like this, but as long as I can remember it has been that way.
