Question about Asylum and other area effects

[odie]

In the Asylum tooltip it states that it won't work with other area effects. Does anyone have any clarification as to if it means other Asylum fields? or does this even include Shadow Flare? I've never been able to notice whether or not the tank is receiving Asylum while playing with SMN and they throw the Shadow Flare right on top of them. I'm wanting to know if I need to coordinate with my SMN or Tank on how to handle this.

This is pretty much just referring to the PvP ability, sacred prism, which is also a GTAoE HoT.

More or less, it's as Risvertasashi stated. Sacred Prism will cancel Asylum and vice versa in the same way that Sacred Soil cancels Shadow Flare, and vice versa. Of course, if you don't PvP it won't affect you much. Now if they ever add more ground AoE support/recovery/damage abilities to WHM in the future, they will most likely also cancel each other out.

That being said, if two different people cast it, then they can overlap. All ground target abilities work with other abilities as long as different people cast them. You can have Sacred Soil from a SCH, Asylum from a WHM, and Shadow Flare from a SMN all going at the same time on the tank and enemy.

So you're saying that you can stack Asylum with another White Mage's Asylum?

Yes, it does stack.

Yes, it does stack.

sounds great. thanks

Yeah, the tooltip needs a little clarity as it doesn't state ground based effects "from the same caster".

Proof from a different poster and thread regarding ground based effects from different casters:
