Stacking bracelets for a eath bless

Seems to me that if you stack all 3 bracers then you lose the benefit of magic amulets, amulets of luck, etc. And really, even at a protection of 27 normal troops have to get really lucky to hurt you. So, the thing you are really worried about is thugs and magic killing spells. Thugs can use armor negating weapons and mages can still use paralyze, etc. so, I say go for it. If you want the obnoxiously high you still have to pay the price of other item slots.

I don't much mind if people use it, but I do hope it get fixed.

I wouldn't be bothered by someone else doing it but wouldn't stack bracelets myself - feels weak.

Is true - but this also works with
Krupps, with cats, with skull (as I recall) and other items.
This was perhaps the weakest exploitation.

Mmh, to the n00b (me) it seems that this is the normal trade-off between specialization (being very strong in one thing) and versatility (being decent in all or at least many).
Stacking 2 bracelets gives surely some protection but you're giving up more MR, some immunity, more reinvig... oh damn, I don't even have to say all the wonderful things we do with misc slots, it always seems we can't have enough ^^
So to me, it's ok, one of the equipment choices of the game. You can stack 2 items of the same kind, you will have more (a lot with a synergy like Baalz talked about) attack/defence/protection - but you lack now some other kinds of protection or abilities that the enemy can easily use against you.
Just my opinion ^_^

I think that any magic item which stacks with another of the same type is wrong to use.

Please note that I am not against using several items which give the same effect just multiples of the exact same item.

Well i use the bracelets only with the E9 bless, without it the effect is too small. The other slot goes for luck and a possible third slot would be MR bonus or something equal.

I don't think 3 bracelets make sence, the bonuses don't stack perfectly. With 1 you already have a good enough protection against most of troops and against threats like AP, AN or mage spells its quite useless to have even 1.
