Kineticist Defensive Wild Talents, do they stack?

[Emberwraith]

Just had a quick question, and I couldn't find it listed in the forums or anywhere else.
If you are a Kineticist, and you take the Expanded Defense utility wild talent for an element you got through Expanded Element, do they both stack at the same time, or do you have to choose one?

For example, if I were an Earth, or a Wood Kineticist, and took the other element and Expanded Defense, would I have both the DR from Earth, and the Natural Armor of Wood?

And from that, do the burn effects of both allow them to continue having the additional effects, or will those effects go away if I burn to put more in the other? Such as if I increased the natural armor using burn for the Flesh of Wood, but then started giving burn to give more DR from Flesh of Stone? Or would they stack as long as I take the burn?

Yes, they stack unless they enhance the same thing (like both affect natural armor), in which case only highest applies.

As long as you take the burn and meet the requirements, the benefits should stack. For your example, autumn blast composite blast should trigger both increases for the defense talents.

Yes, if they couldn’t stack by default then expanded defense would have mentioned that.
