Lately there has been much conversation about the monk and healing prayers. Basically the problem people have is that they have too much healing power when there are 2-4 monks on a team. The natural answer is the disrupter (ie. mesmer), however as many knowledgeable people have pointed out a mesmer can only temporally shut down a single caster with much effect. So, some other means of combating healing must be present, which brings me to this question: if stacking Lingering Cures (Necromancer: Curses), Defile Flesh (Necromancer: Curses), and Deep Wound (Condition) would reduce healing to under 10% of the initial heal.

- Thanks

Knowledgable ? From what I've read and heard, a mesmer left on his own can shut down several casters permanently. Either by increasing their cast times 2-4 fold, OR by depleting their mana to zero. Interupting is an option, but that IS only temporary. However that doesn't answer your question, which I am also interested in, which is how much do different debuffs stack.
