Do aspects stack in Diablo 4?

With how potent some Aspects are in Diablo 4, you may be inclined to combine two or more together to really amp up a specific one's power. To be honest, I think a great idea that allows you to fully specialize your character toward that core Aspect. The real question here though is if such a thing is allowed. Curious if the effects stack together? So was I. Here's everything you need to know.

Do Aspect Effects stack with each other in Diablo IV?

Unfortunately, stacking Aspect effects does not work, no matter which Legendaries or Rares you put them on. I tried to combine three of the same Aspect together, putting the same one on three different pieces of gear. Only the first item with the Aspect equipped, took effect, despite them all being the same. I also noticed that similar Aspects with higher values are ignored if the item they are on is not equipped first. You'd think the game would take the highest value into consideration, but that is not the case.

I assume that Blizzard didn't want Aspect stacking to be a thing because it could upset general game balance. True enough, some Aspects are extremely strong, so I can understand. I have one on my level 51 Rogue that increases my Basic attack speed by 15%. If I could stack that, it would be pretty incredible. Alas, such a dream is not to be in Diablo 4. Perhaps in the future, Blizzard will ease up on the Aspect restriction.
