Do imbues stack?

Do imbues stack?  I've seen a lot of builds that say they do, but I just tried it and only the active imbue added any damage.

I had law dice from inquis and poison blades from assassin.  I only got the dice damage from whichever one was active at the time.

My understanding is that you only get one TYPE of imbue at a time. But, the DICE from various sources stack into whatever type you have active. But, there are exceptions, I think.

Look here and see if the breakdown makes sense:

Thanks Meat.  If I understand this correctly, then the +1 dice from assassin poisoned blade plus the inquis +2 dice would become +3 dice?

When I tested this an hour ago, I didn't see any evidence that an extra die was added to my inquis damage when it was toggled on and no increase when poisoned blades was on.  It should have been fairly obvious if I was going from 1d8 to 3d8 in poison damage.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rockstarz fucked it up and a lot of stuff was bugged as far as not adding to imbue dice.
I had the gift of having 2 active imbues at once, inquis and EK since they were both toggled on when the patch hit, and it seemed like it was stacking on both, but I was only running r3-4 epics at the time so things melt pretty fast anyways. I'll have to do some more testing after etr and see if I notice the stacking effect as I spend my ap and get more dice.

Supposedly your character sheet should list how many dice you have somewhere. Also, try resetting enchancements maybe.

I’m playing a caster. So, I can’t really test it.

I'm thinking about the same from my own gameplay. Had a 18/2 DA-Fighter life when the patch went live. Theoretically my imbue damage should have about doubled baseline. The hits were improved by maybe 10%? However, when I proc Wrathful Weapons I actually do see my imbue damage double.

+3 die shouldn't increase it that much, so I'm guessing a lot of the coding is borked on the imbue system.

I assumed, before you even tested. It’s DDO Afterall and we have the circus freak show dev crew.

I wonder if the 3 emeralds from HobH raid stack with each other? And maybe they can also create some wild damage increase like what you saw. Maybe you can quadruple the damage slotting all 3 with Wrath proc. Wouldn’t surprise me.

The emeralds are allegedly a non-stacking generic bonus now. But who knows.

I wish I had the foresight to have made the build lawful or chaotic, just so I could see if those feats would add to it.

My guess it wraithful overrides any 'gain' a DA gets and the dice show up in the menu option but don't actively apply until you've got the buff running. Hence the massive damage increase.
