    I was wondering if I mixed and matched restorative and exotic particle focusers would I get two buffs?

    If not, will they at least stack off each other? Like say I use science team and get a stack then moments later I used a exotic ability and it procs so I'd have two stacks...or will it only count the first one that started to stack?

    I'm fairly sure they stack with each other, but given their different trigger conditions, you'd have to make sure they were getting triggered often enough to stack, you know?

    I am not the best when it comes to sciense builds but as far as I know you should only go with one variant and that is Exotic Particle Focusers.

    Yeah, I mean I'm always healing and I keep multiple heals on my ships as I don't use any of those fancy expensive traits that do super heals or prevent death.

    In which case, I'd just stick with the Restorative consoles.

    They both give the same bonus, so it seems kind of equivalent to me, with the edge going to Restoratives b/c you can trigger ET/A2S before the fight to pre-buff.

    Ahm a science build uses exotic damage, so getting the bonus is much easier when the bonus is triggered by exotic damage so going with the exotic damage version the bonus exotic damage will be triggered more often.

    Reason why I ask is because I use A2S, ET, and ST...which are instant heals...the proc only happens in final ticks of heals or exotic abilities respectively. Could be a little bit seeing any procs with just the exotic ones...especially since on one of my builds I have been thinking about using the GW trait that extends the duration and reduces cooldown.

    That's exactly why I was thinking Restoratives.
