Was wondering what would happen if I make a Sentinel and selected Barrier as my bonus power. Could I activate Tech Armor and then activate Barrier and recieve effects from both?
Do multiple Shield Enhancing abilities stack, such as using Tech Armor and Barrier?

Excellent. Would you mind elaborating a bit, though? Which ones have you tried, how do you know, etc?

I think the answer is yes they stack but you'll only see one effect on your character.

I remember seeing a dev post somewhere stating that all boosts stack, but there will be overriding with the visual effects.

Yeah, I tried it last night and noticed that only the Tech Armor appears on the character.

All I know about shield stacking is that Barrier and Geth shields appear to give you more shields when looking at the skill screen. But ingame you do not notice any kind of increased toughness when trying to stack them with the bonus you get from Heavy Charge. How that relates to Tech Armor I don't know.

yes, i was corrected on this so i'll explain it to you.
Tech Armor increases your base shields and restores your shields to full when activated. If you choose Power Armor for example, your basically doubling your shields (+100%).
Barrier, (more specifically the +100% version in my example) does the same thing, but if you try to stack them you'll be getting +200% of your base shields or triple of what you started with.
Tech Armors visual always overlaps over barrier.

If that was to me, it didn't really explain what I was saying, as I didn't say it would not work on Tech armor, but rather that it doesn't on Charge. If it actually does work on charge (I'll need some proof for that tho), the difference is so small that on insanity you can't notice it.
If it works on Tech armor, thats great. Though two long cooldowns seems a bit much to me.

No, my post was directed at the OP but Barrier + Charge does work....its just not that impressive on Insanity when they rip shields off so fast.Dannok1234 wrote...

I wouldn't put them together either, part of the awesomeness of Tech Armor is it stuns long enough for you to put another Tech Armor on anyways.

Are you sure about that, has there been a dev confirming that they actually stack? I mean I really can't tell the difference, I spent hours trying it out. 250 points extra should be at least half a second or something.
Edit : I mean for Heavy Charge+Barrier

I think you can test it out by checking your character sheet.

Most bonuses stack, for technical limitation reasons we can't have two full body effects on Shepard at once.
http://social.biowar...8/index/1067264 <- Link to the topic.
My bad, I interpreted it as Christina stating that all bonus stacked, but the topic's a few days old. It's probable that Tech Armor and Barrier/Fortification/GSB stack, but as the above poster said, check the status screen after applying both shields.

As a vanguard who charges in with and without barrier on insanity, yes, you do.
The shields stack and they are there. They also refresh with every charge provided the shields do not break.
The amount added is % of base not total.
