Buff Stacking

[Haitharn]

So I have a question, and I can't seem to find an answer with solid proof. Currently on Nostalrius, one cannot apply the Elixer of Greater Intellect with the mage intellect buff, and receive both benefits. They both show up on the buff list, but the stronger one takes advantage.

For example, I 5000 mana. I use an Elixer of Greater Intellect to increase my intellect by 25. I now have 5250 mana. I then have my mage friend apply Arcane Intellect to me, to increase my intellect by 31. I now have 5310. The lower powered is overwritten by the stronger one. This same thing works with Elixer of the Sages, Divine Spirit, and scrolls.

I am not sure if it is supposed to work like this, or not. All I can find is a video of another private server saying that buff stacking works correctly, which is the same way I explained above. My question is, should elixers and class buffs stack?

Thanks for reading, can't wait to see a good answer with proof

I believe it's intended that most buffs with only a few exceptions cannot stack.

Back in 2005 scrolls would not stack. But were useful in 5 mans if certain class was not there so you can still have the buff. As for the exilirs that I am not sure. I was not 100% try hard back then as I am todau.

Buff stacking works corretly. Thank you for your time.

They actually buffed stacking more then it was back in retail, because back in retail vanilla WoW, having like say a mage cast arcane intellect would dispel your pot off you, if it gave less int, even if it's duration was longer then the mages buff still

Does anyone have a list of what buffs and potions stack? Or is there no such thing? Also any proof from blizzard that buffs worked this way in vanilla? Curious

Everything works properly (except maybe the behavior of the scrolls / class buffs when used : replacement / no replacement etc.), the only buff-stacking-related bug currently unfixed being the Winterfall Firewater stacking with the Juju's Migh melee component on Nostalrius, while it wasn't the case on retail.

Other than that, everything's intended .
