Stack question

[Cole]

Greetings, does anyone know if lightning stance, haste and Jorgundal's collar effects stack? Trying to sort out if I should try to make room for the Collar or not.

Thanks!

I think you are refering to Windstance..

Yes it stacks with Haste.

Jorg's Collar, I dont think it does. Bug?

the stance will stack with both but the collar will not stack with haste.

Yup. thats it...

So does the Collar give you the same effect as haste? If I understand correctly haste only enhances the melee buff for monks, while in wind stance.

I.E. would a monk with the Collar not need to worry about haste potions/buffs?

Collar does not stack with wind stance. I have tested it. Looks like they are the same bonus (competence).

The collar gives an enhancement bonus so it won't stack with the enhancement part of the stance:

Lesser Wind Stance: +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, 7.5% Enhancement bonus to Attack Speed, 2.5% Insight bonus to Attack Speed
Wind Stance: +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, 10% Enhancement bonus to Attack Speed, 5% Insight bonus to Attack Speed
Greater Wind Stance: +3 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, 12.5% Enhancement bonus to Attack Speed, 7.5% Insight bonus to Attack Speed

Wind stance is obtained at level 6 - and the collar is level 13 - so by the time you can wear your collar, you're already probably a Master of Storms (level 12), and your stance is better than the bonus you could gain by entering wind stance.

The only time the collar would be better is if you were unhasted, and only had Lesser Wind stance i.e. only 2 monk levels... but it would only be 2.5% better

As others have said, testing confirms this.

Thanks to everyone that posted.

Another question regarding stacking: Would the +2 wis bonus from greensteel items stack to increase monk attacks like Q.Palm, S.Fist? Or does the greensteel item only affect items like balance, jump, etc?

Or maybe I should just ask, what will increase my chances of killing critters with Q.Palm? If I understand the information correctly, my monk is sitting around dc: 25

Thanks!

haste overrides the colar. wind stance and haste stack. colar and haste do not stack.
