    1. Title: Ice Shield and Damage Avoidance Stacking
    2. Reproducible 100%
    3. Blocker NO
    4. Details Damage Avoidance stacking affected by Ice Shield
    5. Steps to Reproduce: Normally: Damage Avoidance from Fortify Defense and Evasion Stack, but if you have Ice Shield applied, then Damage Avoidance from Fortify Def and Evasion overwrite each other. If you have Evasion and Fortify Defense damage avoidance active and then apply Ice Shield it always remove Fortify defense regardless of whether Evasion or Fortify Defense was applied first, but then if you reapply Fortify defense it will overwrite Evasion. Also, it doesn't matter whether Evasion or Fortify Defense is cast first - Fortify Defense is always overwritten when Ice Shield is cast. So this doesn't appear to be completely intentional to either: limit you to two DA buffs, because it's not a first in, first out behavior, and it's not a case of one overwriting the other because I can get any combination of the two active at the same time (FD + EV, FD + IS, IS + EV).

    OK, thanks. I guess the only thing that's not quite accurate with the description, and what was confusing me, is that Shield of Ice will not be replaced if it is the oldest DA spell in effect. Which makes sense given its a shield, but it made for some odd results when trying to understand exactly what was replacing what.
