Plasmonic leech and MACO shield reset each other

This has been kind of a long time bug, but I'll toss it out there. When the proc on either one triggers, it clears any buffs you had from the other one you had equipped, preventing you from getting anything useful from either.

    The shield states...

    "The energy absorption function of this shield does not stack with similar abilities, such as Plasmonic Leech."

    The console states...

    "The power increase from this ability does not stack with some similar abilities, such as the Power Conduit Link ability from the M.A.C.O. Resilient Shield Array."

    It's not a bug. You're not intended be able to use them together for additional power. Each will replace the other, getting somebody nowhere in the process.

    edit: Though, imho, it would be nifty if Leech simply disabled Power Conduit Link for those folks that wanted to use the MACO/AKHG shield for other reasons while still being able to make use of Leech.

    So does this just affect the shield component of the power 'leech' or does it effectively cancel out the entire power benefit across all 4 levels (WSEA)?
    e.g. If you have plasmonic Leech, do NOT use MACO shield

    Yes, cancels all power gain from the Leech. And yes, do NOT use MACO/AKHG shield with Leech, you will effectively gain 0 power from EITHER as they will continually overwrite each other.

    And yes, WAI.

    Use one or the other.
