Does anyone know how attaching two penance brands to one enemy will work? Will they just build up energy separately?

External link →There is a hard cap of 20 energy per monster. It cannot be exceeded by multiple brands. /u/anapoe was right 2 brands simply increase the rate at which you stack energy.
As per this comment: https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/hb56kp/path_of_exile_harvest_gem_information/fv7d8w4/
E.g. if brand A contributed 15 energy and brand B contributed 5 energy the cap of 20 on a monster is reached and the brands

What I still don't know is if it causes both brands to detonate with an energy value of 20? Or if one brand detonates with 15 energy and the other one with 5 energy?Detonation is independent from number of energy stacks. Detonation only happens when the Brand is removed or expires duration.
E.g. if brand A has 15 energy and brand B has 5 energy the cap of 20 is reached and the brand detonate
Reaching the cap does not cause the explosion. It causes future activations of the brand(s) to do damage pulses instead of adding more. The explosion only occurs when the brand is removed from the branded enemy.

The explosion removes all energy. If one of the brands is removed, it explodes 20 energy. The other can then continue to add more with it's activations if it stays on that enemy.
