    I recognized only 1 Stat buff is actually possible.
    I thought it were reduced to 2.

    Any "rules" i missed.
    What do you buff, what do i need?
    Please some clarification and tips.
    Thanks

    A while back ( a few releases) they limited you to only one stat buff between Air's Embrace, Enlightenment, or Strength of Earth. Casting any of those 3 will cancel any of the other 2.

    That said, you can still add stats through various other means if you need to boost more than one of them:

    Devotional Blessings
    Foods
    Potions (Acumen, Might, Deftness)
    Weapon/Armor stats
    Torpor (Earth Tree)
    Inner Strength skill (Heavy Armor Tree)
    Innates (Train Strength from Tactics, Train Dexterity from Subterfuge, Train Intelligence from Focus tree)

    All of those can be used in conjunction with the 3 main stat buff spells and none of these will cancel the main 3.

    Only one shield buff (death, water etc)
    Max two avoidance buffs at the same time These are the other ones i can think of.

    So you definitely need one stat buff and one shield as the base of your buffs. Then it depends on if you are light or heavy armor user, you probably want to dip into some of those buffs. Then you complement with whatever else is needed to make your build just right.

    It isn't just Shield Buffs. Basically, anything that gives Attunement will cancel out anything else that gives attunement; for instance, Immolation gives an attunement buff and will cancel out Shield of Ice. So, only one Attunement Buff.

    The other buff limit was for avoidance. No more than 2 that impact avoidance.
    Ice shield, evasion, fortify defense, glancing blow, etc. casting more than two will cancel the oldest one cast

    Defensive Stance gives a bonus to Dodge and Glancing Blow but only if you use Defensive Stance first - although the buff icon will show the bonus either way. I was told that this is intended. I think it's extremely esoteric and should be changed.

    And you can also use "Celestial Blessing" with your stat buff, in addition to all the other suggestions above ^^

    Good thing i asked over a year ago for.

    How many Food and Devotional Buffs you can have?

    It was 2 Food, what i never understood or liked.
    But maybe it was a placeholder for 1 Food and 1 Beverage now we can brew stuff.
    I think I need to relog to try some Beer i brewed. Havent logged in for a week.

    Yes, that was nerfed short before release.
    I also liked it.
    Good to know.

    Ok they adjusted the game to be no more a buff fest.
    Good.

    You can have two food buffs, two devotional buffs and two scene blessing buffs (I'm not sure exactly what they're called).

    I believe he's talking about scenes with "blessings". I'd have to dig a bit. There are several scenes where if you complete the quest or puzzle there is a buff associated with it.
