Do Temporary Wounds stack at all?

[Aria Athena]

I noticed they do not do so from Endure and Epicenter of Slaughter.

From in-game tooltips - no, only biggest one should apply.

i think there is a death world skill that lets them stack but could be wrong

[Aria Athena]

Thanks. Since I am here, do you know why Endure reduces incoming damage by only -2? For reference I have 55 TGH and the damage reduction is 2 instead of 5.

Does it count one half the TGH bonus? It clearly shows -5 on the tool tip.

I am also going to rant a bit about Epicenter of Slaughter. Like, what even is the point it? The game gives you Endure, you don't even get to choose another ability, and then it parades EoS in front of you, the only feat with special icon, which on top of everything is recommended, and it's useless, since Endure also gives a great damage reduction.

Endure cost 1 AP... Still yes, not very awesome talent.

Vanguard has an ability that lets temp HP stack so if you are planning that it's more useful. Bad early game for sure.

does the new companion allow temporary wounds to stack? For KIBELLAH I'm speaking about.

No, Bladedancer doesn't feature that talent.
They are all about using and regaining Wounds with and from abilities.

Although you can make a build without any of those specific talents and be just fine.

This. Vanguard is able to stack their Temporary HP which means for Abelard (or any Vanguard), you can make them huge damage dealers by stacking low to mid 3 digit Temporary Wounds and take talents and items that scale damage off of that.

For non-Vanguards the second best secondary archetype for high Temp Wounds without Temp Wound stacking, is the new Executioner archetype with the Reckless Abandon ability. It gives you like +60-80ish Temp Wounds in mid-late game which is very high.

Of course Warrior Endure is the best for a starter Archetype.

Then you have dedicated Biomancer talented syker healer that overheas with Confer Immunity, and crits with heals etc. with other Bio talents. You can spam this party wide to your hearts content and with say a Officer/GS Sanctic/Bio support build, you can easily give the entire party like 20-50+ non stacking Temp Wounds every cast of Light of the Emperor. With Crits and/or Voidborn's Bloody mess trait that can go up to 100ish+ Temp wounds.

Also keep in mind (like corisai stated), hat even though Temp Wounds "don't stack" save for Vanguard, the last application of Temporary Wounds will take priority if that Wound amount is higher than the current existing Temporary Wounds on a character.
