Brutal Charges are not affected by Endurance Charge duration modifiers

I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug but want to confirm.

I tested the belt Arn's Anguish, for simplicity sake I'll paste the belt's description.

(15-25)% increased Stun and Block Recovery
+(600–700) to Armour
(12–15)% increased maximum Life
+(40–60)% to Fire Resistance
Modifiers to Minimum Endurance Charges instead apply to Minimum Brutal Charges
Maximum Brutal Charges is equal to Maximum Endurance Charges
Gain Brutal Charges instead of Endurance Charges

Technically there is nothing in the belt description that says that endurance charge duration modifiers also affect brutal charges. But there is currently no way to be able to extend brutal charge duration to be able to achieve 100% brutal charges uptime with Replicas Farrul's Fur (every 12 seconds gain up to maximum endurance and frenzy cahrges). Apart from self cursing with Temp Chains.

I already confirmed this with a simple test:
I have a 10% increased endurance charge duration on a jewel, so my endurance charge duration should be 11 seconds. Without the belt, I get that the endurance charge timer is 11 seconds. As expected.
With the belt ON, the timer for Brutal Charges is now 10 seconds, so it's unaffected by the endurance charge duration jewel implicit. Haven't tested with node on the tree tho, I suspect the same result.

So I wanted to confirm if this is expected and Brutal Charge duration is not meant to be affected by nodes affecting endurance charge duration. I assumed that the belt would just replace endurance charges along with their duration and this made sense to me but it turns out it's not that way.

Thanks!

you even stated it yourself, there is no modifier causing the extra duration to extend to brutal charges, it would have to be there to be a bug.

Thanks for your reply but it still doesn't answer my original question:

It could be that there is a hidden modifier that could allow this or any other thing, which is what I want to know. It doesn't make sense to me that if now all my endurance charges are now brutal charges, why would they not share the duration. Which is why I am asking if this is expected or that it could be a bug.

If by design their duration is not meant to be affected, great! If this is actually not the expected behavior, also great! I just want to know which one is it.

If I should post this question elsewhere becuase it is not meant to be posted here, then let me know and I will post it where it corresponds.
