Maelstrom Destruction Staff REDUCES spell damage instead of INCREASING it!!

So, after being underwhelmed by the amount of spell damage I had when equipping my Sharpened, Purple quality, Maelstrom Inferno staff I did the following test:
1. Removed ALL gear, including jewelry
2. Equipped a random destro staff = 1335 Spell damage
3. Equipped a random resto staff = 1335 Spell damage
4. Equipped sharpened purple MAELSTROM STAFF = 1314 Spell damage
So instead of gaining 182 spell damage, i LOST 21 spell damage. gg...
Please fix ASAP
Edit Aight no need to panick, the mistake is mine. I compared a purple maelstrom staff with a gold no set staff and didn't take into account that the quality has an effect on my spell damage, now I've upgraded the maelstrom staff also to gold and it does indeed provide an increase.

GnGEmpire✭✭✭its been confirmed to be a ui error, lots of sets are causing it
It seems like more than a UI error, because it also reduces the tooltip damage on skills.
for example, my swallow soul without gear and a random staff does: 4267
swallow sould without gear + maelstrom staff does: 4241Casualty - small high end/end game PvE guild. Recruiting!0 -

✭Are you comparing legendary random v16 staffs to an epic v16 maelstrom staff? Your purple staffs have too much spell damage. It should only be 1132 spell damage for an epic V16. Are you under the effects of any buffs? Can we have a screenshot?Edited by Asayre on January 22, 2016 12:54PMReference for any calculation I make Introduction to PvE Damage Calculation0 -

the quality of the staff doesn't affect how much spell damage you have (unless it's part of a set bonus in which case it does get affected by quality, but no sets were equipped in the experiment, only a single non set staff vs maelstrom staff)
EDIT: I WAS WRONG, quality does seem to have affect over spell damageEdited by GnGEmpire on January 22, 2016 1:13PMCasualty - small high end/end game PvE guild. Recruiting!0 -

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what you are seeing. A legendary V16 staff gives 1335 spell damage
An epic maelstrom staff gives 1132 + 182 = 1314 spell damage.

Correct me if Im wrong but if you equip a staff with 1335 spell dmg its legendary (gold) quality.
A v16 purple destro staff should give 1132 spell dmg.
So purple Maelstrom staff = 1132 + 182 = 1314 spell dmg.
