I just equipped the Focus and Restraint rings for the first time. I’ve never used them until now. I’m a bit late to the game so I’ve been trying out various builds on different classes that are old news but new to me. I’ve noticed something a bit odd with the Focus and Restraint buffs and i’m wondering if it’s a bug or if it has more to do with the way I’m playing. I’ve noticed that if I alternate between using resource generator and spender, that sometimes,quite often actually, instead of getting both buffs, sometimes the rings just refresh each others buff. I noticed this because sometimes I’ll get both buff icons at bottom of screen, and other times I’ll get the buff from only one of the rings and even though I alternate from the generator to a spender, instead of getting the second buff it will just refresh the one that’s already there. I’m sorry if my explanation is a bit convoluted or hard to follow. But to those that were able to follow what I’m saying, do you have any clue as to what’s going on?

You have to actually hit something with your skills to trigger the effects.

Additionally, you also need to alternate between generators and spenders no matter what to maintain the full two-part buff. Otherwise only one half of the full buff is present at any given time. It’s best for those builds that can stutterstep with relative ease. It’s not useless otherwise, just diminished if you can’t switch between generator and spender or just don’t like that playstyle. But because of how that particular multiplier works (2.25x total damage after all other calculations), it’s a very significant increase in DPS.
I do alternate between them. Perhaps my timing is somehow off. I’ll try it out again. Thank you for your replies.
