Do they stack with one another? Such as... can I do Geo, Hydro and Cryo much like you can with the Elemental Debuffs? Or no?

No, most recent helix overwrites previous helices.

another confirm that no, they do not stack.

but after having them for 8 lvl's now i see why. it would be FAR to overpowering if they did...

on the right mobs (not Imps or Colibir's) i have Cryohelix landing for 150 - 170 (depends on mob) damage thats almost 1200 damage with one cast you can do right from the start.

Stacking these spells would be too much.

yeah helixes must be good for soloing
its kinda like having a war duoing with you hitting for 150 every tick while you nuke or whatnot
my only problem is the tick time
every 10 seconds or so? kinda too far apart from each tick imo

Earlier posters mentioned that different helix spells from one SCH overwrite each other. But would the same (or even different) helix spell from a different SCH overwrite?

This is what I would like to know....If 2 sch's cast 2 different helix spells will they both stack or overwrite ...Im thinking they should stack.

I'm guessing that they won't, similar to the way that multiple Bio II spells or multiple elemental enfeebles (Burn etc) to not stack. However I have done exactly zero tests on it (my SCH is 51), and I would like to know for sure.

Edit: Burn of course does stack with a few others like Choke, but I was thinking of multiple Burns in this case.

Tried it, doesn't work. There is no way to have more than one helix on the same mob simultaneously, period.
