Does anyone know if the companion bonuses stack? Example the Wisp plus the Contankerous Mage. The control bonus, does it stack?

Thanks so much!

    I suspect it's not a cumulative addition though.

    Example of how it most likely doesn't work:
    You have 100 control resist
    Pet 1 give 50% boost (50)
    Pet 2 gives 25% boost (37.5 - i.e. 25% of 150)
    Total: 187.5 control resist

    Example of how it likely works:
    You have 100 control resist
    Pet 1 gives 50% boost (50)
    Pet 2 gives 25% boost (25 - 25% of 100)
    Total: 175

    All bonus stack. Even the same type companion bonus.

    This one is the right showing. The 175% control resist mean then control duration/1,75 = new control duration.
    Stats increases are every time only additive, not multiplicative.

    Control Resist is a duration/time effect. All time effects in this game to date are impacted by the same formula when a percentage stat is applied:

    Duration = Base duration / (1 + percentage stat).

    For example, if a CC normally lasts for 5 seconds its new duration under a 50% Control Resist would be: 5 / (1 + 50%) = 3.33 seconds.

    Hence, I expect, it is an additive stacking with that formula, e.g. from above: 5 / (1 + 50% + 25%) = 2.86 seconds.
