Deekin Specialization

[Whitey]

Why does my DPS go down when I choose Deekin's "Epic Tale of Little Kobold" specialization?

You probably killed something. His stacks decrease when something dies, and thus his damage buff.

I'm still confused why his lvl 590 boost to DOOOM! contributes no notable increase in group damage -- even when at maximum stacks. The number flashes green for a moment, but otherwise does not change. What exactly is that upgrade even for it does almost literally nothing??

The issue I have with that is when Deekin's buff starts stacking the DPS shift is immediate and doesn't change color - EXCEPT, when I choose that particular specialization.

The DPS change from Deekin's buff doesn't change color. It seems to be an immediate change. I assume it's because it's constantly changing and would be even harder to tell what your DPS is at a given moment.

Story of DOOM actually works on boss levels, where you have a very limited amount of mobs to kill with strong boss, that requires more than a single hit (i.e. somewhere around your "wall"). This makes bonus grow as you are not able to 1 hit-KO everyone there.
On normal levels my bonus is around thousads or low 10s of thousands of percent (or simply lets say somewhere between x30÷x200). At my wall it grows to 2.41e6 => ~x24100 (Yes, my equipment on Deekin is very poor).

That's just it. I mean I'm watching the group DPS before, during, and after I take the upgrade, and DPS does not change. At all. Even at max stacks, the number doesn't budge. And it doesn't matter which spec. Doom or Epic Tale, both result in the same no-increase bonus.

Yeah, I get how it works (and my equipment is very poor. I actually only have one item because I was away from my computer for almost that entire event). Look, as soon as I click on that specific specialization right then and there my DPS literally goes down. Like...animated with the color red.

That is weird. Don't know what to tell you.
