Stacking Procs

Will the build-up procs stack from different powers? Does it matter if they are from different sets? For example, 1 gaussian and 2 decimation procs, how many can be active at once?

Although, having 2 buildup procs from decimation would be a trick.

All buildup procs are marked Unique.

The most you can have is 1 of each.

But yes, they can go off at the same time. However, the odds against that happening are astronomical. (In other words, it could happen, but you'll probably never actually see it happen)

If a power exists that can take both (I don't think one does), and you slotted both in one, it would be a 0.25% chance of both firing at the same time, or (on average) once every 400 uses of the power. If they're in different powers, such as a GSFC in Tactics and Decimation in a blast, the odds of them firing together become even lower, because the procs aren't going to be checked at the same time (or close enough to overlap) very often.

If I put them in Followup, poison dart, and gloom, it should be pretty much the same chance to get them to overlap as if they were all in the same power if I chain them. Of course, I didn't realize decimation was unique, so I guess it's just trying to get the two to stack - drop gloom then. Much better chance of getting just two to stack.

Remember that the soulbound allegiance proc also tests t fire on you when you summon the pet it is slotted in. So there are three possible chance for buildups. But yeah, not stacking in any meaningful way.
