Problem with focus items

Good evening,
On my character Sianur, I am supposed to have, accordingly to the spell descriptions, three different focus items on poison spells.
Strong Spider Fur with Discordant Poison (45% poison bonus)
Juzlix's Mask of torment with Dragon bile (50% poison bonus)
Imperial Symbol of the Shissar with Vampiric bile (60% poison bonus).

I perfectly know that none of those are supposed to stack and that only the highest bonus should work. Thing is that only Discordant poison works. If I unequip the item which has this focus effect, I will get no message of item activation and no bonus at all on any of my poison spells (DoT or DD). And if I have my three items equipped, I only get the message from the Discordant Poison's focus.
Can you please tell me if I got something wrong or if I misread the spell descriptions ?

Thanks :)

We went over this earlier.

Your 50 and 60% foci are disease-based spells. i.e. the name of the focus, BILE.

We didn't go over this earlier at all.
Description of the focus on the earring says "infuses your poison spells with the power of the dragon".
I think that's clear too that it's poison, no ?
So the description on this earring is wrong ?

And anyway, if this is a so-called disease dot focus, how come that when I cast a disease dot it doesnt give any bonus at all either ?

My question still stands as far as I know.

Unfortunately that can easily happen. We have a dedicated thread for reporting similar issues here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4678
but to be honest we have 1500+ custom spells now and the whole "spell description department" needs a big overhaul.

Oki thanks Lillu, I totally understand :) I will report that on that specific section. Just to know, is the description correct (it's poison) but the focus doesn't work, or is the description wrong (it's disease) and the focus doesn't work ?

I ask that to know what should I post there and for my personnal knowledge :)

Thanks again for the quick answer :)
