Damage increment clickies

The clicky effects Focused Channeling on Dreamstone Trinket and Chaotic Destruction on Gloves of Seething Chaos don't stack with cunning, which makes them useless in most raid situations. I was wondering if this was an oversight, or if the clickes were intended to be sans-beastlord temporary damage boosters.
 
-time passes-

Ok so I heard that these were supposed to stack with cunning, but still dont. The buffs do stack graphically, but spell damage stays the same.

I was looking at the effects in a parser, and Focused Channeling says:

Slot 11: Increase Spell Damage by 8%
Slot 12: Increase Spell Damage by 1%

Chaotic Destruction says:

Slot 11: Increase Spell Damage by 10%

I don't know if this is accurate or not, but I assume these "slots" have something to do with why they dont stack with Cunning of the Beast. Would moving the effects to slot 13 or 14 help? Just throwing an idea out there, not sure how the coding mechanics of the game work.


If there isn't a way to make two spell buffs increase spell damage, can the items be changed to have an effect that gives an innate 1% crit chance or something similar? Thanks for your time.
 
There is no slot 13 or 14, but that isn't the problem. Cunning spell crit is slot 3, damage is slot 4. I'm guessing it's because they're both considered damage foci and only the best applies.
 
What do you think about my idea to turn them into innate crit focuses? Or maybe even clicky crit focuses, kind of like your own personal nuke curse, but less powerful. Maybe a magic focus, since there are cold/fire focus items.
 
We're not gonna turn the newport rings into practically irreplacable must-have items for most of the game. They will stay as they are.
 
Sorry, I was really just skimming, saw someone complaining about focus effects with +10% to damage and thought it was the tired old newport ring topic popping up again. :psyduck:

Ignore me, I'll leave this to Xeldan.
