Because each Overpower stack carries its own independent 4-second duration rather than the whole buff sharing one timer, a build must land a new Overpower-triggering hit roughly every 4 seconds PER STACK slot to avoid stacks quietly falling off before you notice.
This matters more the higher your effective stack cap is: a build pushed to 16 stacks (see season15_ritualist_overpower_extension) needs a much higher sustained trigger RATE to stay near its cap than a baseline 4-stack build, since more stacks are simultaneously counting down.
Stacks are tracked individually rather than as one pooled counter with one shared timer, so refresh frequency - not just occasional triggering - determines your realized average stack count.
Each stack: 4 second independent duration.
For high-stack-cap Overpower builds, prioritize skills/Aspects that guarantee frequent Overpower triggers (rather than a rare high-value proc) to keep the stack count near its ceiling instead of oscillating.
