GM mountain & Perfect Self , Does the dr stack?

[t0r012]

Title kinda says it all.
does the 10/epic from perfect self stack with the dr/- from mountain stance?

[AMDarkwolf]

nope, not as far as i can tell.

gotta find something that does a pretty close value each time it hits to test for a fact, but know DR in most all cases doesn't stack, and i have seen little difference in the damage i receive(but its only 8 pts so can't be sure)

[Arkat]

No. They most definitely do NOT stack!

[Impatiens]

Nope, they don't stack so the only time the mountain stance DR would be useful is if you are in an epic dungeon.

[t0r012]

well that sucks.
kills the best bonus of gm mountain.

are we 100% sure no stack?
test 2 lvl 20 monks stripped beating on each other in GM mountain.

next question

I noticed unlike other monk stuff it doesn't say anything about being needing to be centered to get the perfect self DR, anyone test this?

Are you basing that on anything other than they're both called epic?

I didn't mean that all mobs in an epic dungeon will be able to bypass the DR, but in this post by Eladrin: http://forums.ddo.com/showpost.php?p=2474061&postcount=46 it is stated that named epic bosses will be able to bypass it. I imagine it's safe to assume that named epic bosses would be in epic dungeons.

Though doing some further research there are, perhaps, other bosses in raids that are not epic that can bypass the DR. I'll have to look into that further/do some testing.

Absolutely 100% sure no stack.

One is DR/2,4,6,8- and the other is DR/10 Epic, different types of passive DR do not stack.

same types of passive DR dont stack either

I was trying to discern between active and passive, it was just worded poorly. Anyone with a Light and Darkness or Barbarian buffed with Ironskin Chant would know that same types of passive DR do not stack.

well, then maybe saying ''differant types of DR dont stack'' would been better ;)
and i doubt ppl asking such questions have a barb, a pocket bard and that shield

No because active DR and passive DR stack, that statement would be wrong.

It was a question directed towards monks, whose to say what other classes and gear they have. Also, I said "or", they didn't need to have all of those to come to that conclusion.

true, what i meant was ''same types of DR dont stack''

had it right in the head but wrong in the fingers

My sentiments exactly. :D

Different DR do not stack, but they do overlap. Say you have 5/- and 10/epic. Anything not classified as epic will be reduced by 10, anything that bypasses the 10/epic will still be reduced by 5/- though. DR does not apply vs elemental damage or magic.

[t0r012]

so anyone have an answer to whether perfect self DR requires being centered?
