as many may have noticed some brittleness-applying blessings list themselves as applying (X) number of stacks of 5% brittleness
however the reality is that they apply (X) number of stacks of 2.5% brittleness
I.E a grenadier gauntlet’s shattering impact IV applies 10% brittleness (4x2.5) while claiming to apply 4 stacks of 5% brittleness and ripper gun’s can opener IV appliess 40%(16x2.5) while claiming to apply 16 stacks of 5% brittleness
i imagine the latter is using the correct value but with an incorrect description and the former, and some others, use the incorrect value with the correct description, tho maybe both are just using the wrong value for applying the brittleness effect
disclaimer: this issue was verified using a mod that allows me to see debuffs on enemies including a % of brittleness effects applied on them
