Game Mechanics: Refreshing Certain Clickies Effects Not Stacking Buff Properly

[Erati]

This is a problem for specific items that I have noticed, it is not a universal problem with all clickies that put a buff on you.


Jboots works properly. Having an empty top slot and Jboots in your second slot, when you click your jboots again...the effect will move to the top slot. This was a classic change from last patch and a good one.

However, some clickies are not responding in this way.

Currently I have experienced the effect stagnating and not going to the first open buff slot with:

Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring - Effect- Grim Aura

Bracer of the Hidden- Effect - See Invis

Any Rogue/Bard Illusion Mask- Effect - Racial Ilusion


Those are just some of the items my characters have so this could be happening with some other items/effects. The buff stacking works properly with Jboots so its not simply an universal 'clicky' buff bug.

Dont believe this is intended as all buffs should behave in the same manner in terms of when they are refreshed, even clickies.

bump curious if this is how clickies should behave with classic buff stacking

seems like they should be acting like other buffs

more examples:

Monk Epic Fists do not go to top slot when refreshed and open buff slot above is avail
Same with Robe of the Spring
Same with Kunark armor clickies

Seems no clickie buffs act like a normal buff in terms of their stacking behavior, this is probably not correctly tuned.

i mostly would like some commentary about what is 'suppose' to happen when refreshing your clickies with an open buff slot above where the clicky buff currently resides

This might be relevant. Earlier today I killed Coercer in Kithicor and when she landed a cripple on me it overwrote my VoG, but it kept the slot where VoG was buried. Deep deep on my buff list.

The way the fight went: I got slowed, top slot. I asked for dispells. After I give up on having slow dispelled she lands a cripple. There's a 4 blank buff buffer between where VoG was and where all other spells were.

yea wow that should go into your second slot as it overwrote VoG

at least that's what I would assume should happen
