+6MP5 on chest does not seem to work

As mentioned in another thread around here, there are several areas where this is occurring and have seen implemented resolutions for various 'mana per 5' bonuses. These changes don't appear to be making it into 2.0.10, but will come in a future patch.

Specifically, there is this one:

• The mana regen effect from 'Enchant Chest - Restore Mana Prime' does not stack with various items that also grant 6 mana per 5.

Some of the specific bonuses are not stacking, such as +6/5 secs not stacking with other +6/5 secs.

Q u o t e:


Not sure if you're still reading this with all the flaming going on Tseric, but I just wanted some clarification here:

Are you saying that, if I had a pair of gloves with 6 mp/5 and a chest with 6 mp/5, I wouldn't get 12 mp/5?

Or are you saying that, if I had a chest with 6 mp/5 and I enchanted it with 6/mp5, I wouldn't get 12 mp/5?

Or both? Is it only if you try to stack identical amounts of mp/5 through enchants? Because I definitely have overlapping gear right now (2 things providing 6 mp/5 and two providing 8 mp/5) and I appear to be getting the correct amount. I'll test for sure tonight, I guess..

There are different cases, but most of them appear to be based around having say, 7/secs on a chest piece, then enchanting with 7/sec. The same type of stat buff won't stack. So, the middle example is most accurate, where a piece already has one quantity of mana/5 and that same quantity is being reapplied through an enchant, like from Glyph of Renewal.
