Madstone Rage and Stalwart Defender wont stack?

[Guder]

Don't know if this is working as intended...don't think it is.
While in 'Stalwart Defender' fighter mode, I am not getting any benefit from 'Madstone Rage.'
Such as...my tank uses 'defender' enhancement II for lvl 12 fighters...When in 'defender' toggled stance, 'madstone' boots will not 'go off' and using the boots' rage clicky gives No bonuses to strength, con or ac.

However, prior to toggling into defender mode...you can cast or have madstone rage proc and get your increased str, con, ac...then toggle 'Defender' and while your enhanced stats remain, the Stalwart bonuses will stack on top off your increased 'madstoned' stats.

Is this a bug? known issue? working as intended? are all of the effects being added in correctly?

also noticed that madstone will not function correctly if you have imbibed a barkskin potion prior to using the boot clicky..no rage effect and no additional AC

I'm not sure about the Rage effect but you won't see an additional increase in your AC. A typical +3 Barkskin potion is a Natural AC bonus which is the same type and amount as the Madstone bonus, therefore they will not stack.

Be sure to bug report the rest.

madstone is actually natural armor +4, so its better than a barkskin


Defensive stances provide immunity to rage effects; you will see the effect when yo uactivate it in your combat log.

However, madstone rage will remain on you if its active when you activate the stance; however, it will not activate if you already have defensive stance going on.

Regular rage will be removed when activating defensive stance, so I'd expect to see madstone rage removed in the same fashion in thefuture.
