I was gonna post this on the sin forum but i realize this applies to all sage classes..

My question is, does windshield and bb reduction in damage cancel sage sparks 25% reduction in damage or can they all stack up together?

I was thinking if i use windshield to go from 4.0 to 5.0 aps in sage sin mode, does the reduction in dmg from windshield cancel out the dmg reduction from sage spark...
same concept with blue bubble.. does it overwrite the damage reduction of a sage spark?

    It cancels. In BB its only until the BB "Buff" refreshes but ive still had it kill me a few times. Mainly in Warsong.

    Hence im going to make a Relentless Courage genie for Warsong. :P

    Yeah it's like how pink bubble cancels out all fury buffs. As a general rule, if the buff icons are the same, they will cancel out; in this case the sustained buff from BB over the spark one.

    Wind Shield cancels out Archer's evasion buff. Kinda stupid, IMO.

    So if you're running with a Demon Sin/BM, don't RB. If you're running with a sage Sin/BM, don't BB, but you might have to if you have other squishies in the group.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Why not BB? The BB recustion is 50%, sage spark is 25%... So replacing the sage spark reduction is actually a good thing. RB and Hell Spark is a different story.

    good thinking not going to sin forums with this, because NOBODY there would of been able to relate seeing how you're the only flippin sage sin on the face of the planet!

    Oh, and yah the effects overide eachother, whichever one was used last is the one which effects you will reap.

    There are actually more sage knife-fish than you think. Most go by the argument that they won't use/get all the money for 5 APS.

    And also
    As a general rule, if the buff icons are the same, they will cancel out
    is not true, Invoke and BB don't cancel each other out. You just get 2 turtle icons.

    Edit: Also forgot RB and Tide Spirit. You get 2 hands telling you your magic damage is increased.
    Once upon a time I was stuck in Hall of Deception.
    The Devs felt sorry for me having to smash lowbies all day, so they decided to promote me.
    I then rerolled a Psychic.

    The strongest Sin in all PWI is on Sanctuary and he is Sage.

    5.0 isn't everything bro.
