Somehow, my post got thrown in the wrong forum. Unlike every other status effect and artifact I am aware of, Quantum Flare seems to stack with itself. Is this intentional? |

Yes. Intentional. |

Really more of a question for the designer of the game, but whatever. It should be fixed to work like everything else, or at the very least, a note added to its description so as to inform people of its exceptional function. |

There are others that do this also. EMP spheres come to mind. |

In my experience, EMP Spheres say 'Another similar effect is already in place' if you try to use multiples. Unless it's different for players than for NPCs. |

That would be my confusion then - so I can just use 10 EMP spheres on someone to completely negate their defenses? |

First one reduces defense to 90%, second is 10% of that or 9% of original. Third would be -10% of 81% or 8% leaving 73% of the original stat... and so on and so forth |

Right, but 100% - 10% - 9% -8.1% -7.3% - 6.6%... et cetera. Even accounting for diminishing returns, that still takes defense down to about a third. So it's not complete negation, but it is kind of overkill. |

Guess that explains why I got hit with 7 flares in a row in a 2 minute period.. and then still not hacked or disabled.. It was just weird.. |
