Withering Presence - Stacking problem

I don't know if this is the actual design of the skill but it is a 10 times stacking debuff with a duration of 4 seconds and applies once every 2.X seconds. Before taking this skill I assumed that everytime you add a stack that the 4 seconds will refresh because that is normal game design, however after using it for awhile I noticed that it only ever stacks to 2. The reason it only stacks to 2 is that the first stack fades before the third stack apply because it takes 5~ seconds to apply the third stack and the first stack only lasts 4 seconds.

This has got to be trolling or a bug right? Or do you want like multiple skills and passives just to enable 10 stacks of wither?

Yup. It's hilariously bad. I'm not even sure how it went live in its current state. Wow, reserve 30 spirit to do 10% *increased* (not more) chaos damage if you remain with 6 yards for a few seconds.

Unless there's some secret combination of supports/ passive nodes that are accessible while leveling and will allow you to properly accumulate stacks on a mob, why on Earth would anyone use this?

i dropped that in favor of eye of winter + unleash + withering touch, since the gain as chaos on tree enables it already. with that and the other passive that withers enemies when they enter your presence, there's basically no reason to ever run withering presence since you already get wither for clear and single target

But if you look at malice the skill granted by the Scepter it works correctly but not for withering presence.

That;s funny
