Hey guys, I've been wanting to ask this for a bit now, since I have no clue about it, do the elemental spikes stack with each other, or do they override themselves?

Can you have Ice and Blaze up at the same time, etc.

They override each other, would be nice to have all 3 up at once though >.>

Damn, I just specifically wanted Ice/Blaze spikes to stack. That's cool though, I can now plan my end-gear around them not stacking. =/

Unfortunately you can only have one spike spell active, however for gear with the additional effects will take priority over the spell.

As far as the 3 spike spells go i'd recommend ice over shock or blaze since it has a chance to paralyze the target that hits you which can proc more than once as opposed to just straight up dmg from blaze or a one time stun from shock.

Ninja Chainmail +1 definitely stuns more than Shock Spikes ever has.

Solution is obviously to level Ninja and change jobs just as a monster's attacking you.

No, I'm not worried at all. I just like to decide how exactly I plan on soloing. Seeing as how I'm a BST player, I wanted to make my solo life as easy as possible, which is why I asked that question.

EDIT: Oh, and please, call me Pooh.

I've noticed they only work in Ballista as well... Never against mobs. SE doesn't want stuns to work. Lol
