Game Mechanics: Bard SPELL Item Effects should avoid stacking restrictions until 9/20/2001

I did some searches on item stacking but perhaps I should have just opened up the search criteria, will browse those threads later and see if this is a dupe post. Looked to be slightly different on some song stacking stuff, but saw some shield of flame mention on self.

But if this is just dupe post, please move to resolved or merge with existing thread! Thank you sir.

Edit: Seems this thread at least backs up evidence in point #3 of the first thread and at least indicates this should NOT be for entire timeline of server, but rather up until 9/20/2001. Quote from that thread:

3 - A bard right click buff / debuff proc is suposed to stack with EVERYTHING. far from that here.

In the off hand, where ratio is better than speed, this is a fine weapon. Keep your speedy weapons in the mainhand for the damage bonus and a good ratio'd weapon in the other. As for the proc, I can't speak for paladins, but I've had Guard stack with any other buffs I'm ever given. Then again, a bard proc'ing a JStick stacks with enchanter Tash, sp bard proc stacking has always been a bit weird (but benefically so). Anyway, it's worth using just until you get the proc and switching out if you wish. An extra 20AC never hurts

Edit #2: Annnnnd your second thread did indeed have the same evidence I linked here, albeit the last post in the thread. Interesting to note that they suggest it was possibly removed during the 9/25/2001 patch and it continued to stack, but I thought I saw that to be just SONG stacking (there were problems where bards couldn't cast there Selo BP since it was being treated as a spell or something).

Thanks for the post, it sounds like this could be deleted and that thread bumped (still questioning the buff click stacking working past 9/20/2001, but that can be further researched). Sorry for the duplication!
