What is Skill Stacking? - Guild Wars Forums

Can you put more than one skill in one slot on the skill bar? Is this stacking or am I way off base?

I'm assuming stacking enchants or hexes over each other to prevent removals.

What context did you hear it in?

In some FPS games with random teams, I've heard the phrase "skill stack" to refer to the situation in which the teams are numerically even, but all the skilled players are on one side. Never heard that in GW, though.

I have heard mean to stack all your hexes or enchants on a foe.

I think skill stacking was when people used skills like Frenzy and Tiger's Fury at the same time. Both spells increase the attack speed of the character. Stacking them gave the player both of the benefits of the skills. This was recently fixed by an update.

Some skills still stack. A lot of the armor buffs stack. I'm taking advantage of that now in my warrior with earth buffs and tactics buffs.

No, Read it carefully he wants to put more than one skill in a single slot. Yes you're way off base :P

I think skill stacking also refers to the following situation:

You have two Warriors in a group going on a mission. One brings Watch Yourself, the other brings Sheilds Up!. The shouts "stack", instead of say, having each warrior bring two of the same skill. Two shouting Watch Yourself! won't stack, meaning you won't get +40 armor.
