Default Does Succor stack?

I am just curious if Succor stacks on an aly it is cast on?

Example if three people on the team cast Succor on one aly will that aly get +3 E regen and +3 health regen?

Or do the cancel themselves out and and no matter what you can only get +1and +1?

I tried this with two heros and it looks like they are both maintaining the enchant but does not appear that I am getting +2 E and +2 Health regen thus I am thinking I am wasting a slot.

Thanks

Succor does not stack (no enchantment does), and it is a bad skill so you are indeed, wasting a slot.

Essence Bond stacks when multiple people cast it on one person.

No multiple copies of any spell stack, it is simply replaced by the new one. Succor is awful. That is all.

Edit: did not know that about Essence Bond...interesting. Don't think I've ever had multiple people carry it. I'll have to look into other things like that.

Essence Bond does not "stack". Stacking implies the effect is multiplied, but it isn't. Instead, Enchantments that give the user a benefit, have their effect renewed and applied to everyone involved.

ie: Protective Bond shares its energy loss with everyone maintaining it evenly.

But it doesn't "stack" the effect (Balthazar's Spirit doesn't give you 2 strikes of adrenaline and X * 2 energy after all), it just shares the benefit (and costs) to everyone affected.

essence bond stacks in the same way holy veil stacks since it goes back to the caster, not the person it is casted upon, and if it is stripped once i believe it will strip the last person who casted it and keep the other person's (2 holy veils will allow one hex to be cured and will keep a holy veil on too). the same happens with life bond, and other spells like that. the same idea also happens with life siphon (3 people cast it, they all get +3regen but the target is still only -3), parasitic bond, etc.

I can confirm that essence bond casted by more persons will give all casters their energy.
