Celestial Birthstone Fragment - bug or intended?

[eDo]

Hello everyone

Im running my build like this:

Centipede Set with Venomous Armguard fully upgraded
2-Piece: Massively reduces the continuous damage received from Poisoned State
4-Piece: Significantly increases Attack while suffering from Poisoned State

Adept Spine-Shooting Fuban Staff

Gold Sun Crow Curios

Jade Moon Rabbit Curios

Beast Buddha Curios

Celestial Birthstone Fragment Curios "Ignores the enemy's Four Bane resistances"


And following soaks:

Deathstinger "After using the gourd, inflicts weak Poisoned State to the Destined One himself"

Iron Pellet "Using the gourd can no longer be interrupted by incoming attacks and now provides considerable Damage Reduction" (i think the dr buff does not work compared to the Laurel Buds soak "Using the gourd moderately increases Damage Reduction for a short duration") maybe im wrong on this but i tested it also and there is no dr in the statsheet nor a visiual indikator like when u use Laurel Buds.

Purple-Veined Peach Pit "Massively increases the Health recovery from using the gourd when at Critical Health"

Fruit of Dao "Using the gourd moderately extends the duration of Invincibility upon executing a Dodge for a short duration"

Or instead of the fruit sometimes Tiger Relic "Using the gourd moderately increases Critical Hit Chance for a short duration


ok so far when i use my gourd i inflict myself poison through deathstinger and each tick from the poison increases my dmg slightly through centipede 4-piece bonus.

if i use instead the Celestial Birthstone Fragment any other curios the poisonticks from deathstinger are "normal" (2-piece bonus Massively reduces the continuous damage received from Poisoned State) at it takes around 1/12 or 1/10 of my health

but with Celestial Birthstone Fragment it takes around 1/4 of my lifebar.
and its sometimes not always.

so my question is is this a bug or is this how it works and is intended?

i have also tested by removing all points from Filthy Malice "Each level slightly increases poison damage" <-- this Points doesnt matter in the tick-damage i have tested it (but seems strange to me that it doesnt matter if its turns out that Celestial Birthstone Fragment is not bugged and works as intended)

also the soak Double-Combed Rooster Blood "Using the gourd while in Poisoned State removes the Poisoned State and moderately increase Movement Speed and Critical Hit Chance"
in combination with the Stinger soak works
u get the crit chance (this bufficon is shown) and the movment speed (even the movmentspeed bufficon is not visible - also a bug) but because it removes insta the poison u get only (i guess from one initial poisontick) around 11,6% dmg increase - not the fully dmg increase of 32% without the Rooster Blood soak

but my main question is Celestial Birthstone Fragment bugged or works as intended that you recieve more dmg to your self with selfinflicted poison through Stinger soak?


also when i remove Celestial Birthstone Fragment and replace it with a other curios and then use the gourd and put the Celestial Birthstone Fragment back in and use the gourd it it ticks for 1/10 again...... and not fpr 1/4 of my lifebar

edit:
i have upgraded @ Xu-Hund fully my posion resistance
now i cant poison myself anymore no matter what i do - even with celestial birthstone fragment i dont get poisoned anymore

i only get the 11,6% instead of 32% with the Stinger soak

so celestial birthstone fragment doesnt work?
Stinger doesnt work with max poison resistance?
Rooster Blood soak doesnt work anymore aswell

what is going on

So it would seem based on your findings that Celestial Birthstone ignores resistance of whatever you are inflicting with bane. So Deathstinger is poisoning you but your celestial is ignoring your set bonus.

yeah seems so but its not always thats also strange.
and some enemies requires the Celestial Birthstone (to be able to inflict the poison bane on them) because they are immune to poison (bane) like Erlang or Centipede Guai himself

I have been running frog with birthstone and I think some enemies are either flat out immune to some banes or it indeed works in a dodgy way.
