    It's clear the long-term one does: there's a little bar under the icon and you can see it go up as your 1% etc. buffs stack. The entire stack refreshes with each pickup.

    I had thought that the short term buffs didn't, but closer examination shows that they do, though each buff in the stack decays individually after 10 seconds, unlike the stack of long-term buffs.

    So in other words, "It does not stack" is simply wrong in both cases, unless you're using some unusual meaning of the word "stack" that is clearly not the meaning that I and others were using here.
    The wording was correct.
    Long term and short term buffs works separately, but it wasn't discussed in the original post (how you even came to that conclusion?).

    Short term buff does NOT stack with itself. It gives you a buff AND bonus armor. Bonus Armor does stack, but the buff itself (weapon damage and skill efficiency) does NOT.

    Is that clear now?

    There's your problem. You feel increasing armour is not a "buff." But it clearly is.

    Bonus Armor does stack, but the buff itself (weapon damage and skill efficiency) does NOT.

    That's clear, yes. Thanks for clarifying that (eventually).

    Can you explain, however, how you came to this knowledge that two of the three short term buffs don't stack? I assume you didn't just make it up.

    Should you have video evidence that short-term damage stacks as well? you may be too slow with the killing so you do not see the damage buff. it stacks for me anyway
