In Progress Macabre Motive adornment not working as intended?

I currently have this adorn equipped and based on the other gear I have from the contested it says that I have "is being improved by 170 points from the Macabre Step effects". When I take the piece of gear off and calculate the improvement of the additional points it only is boosting the potency by a very tine 43 points.

Also the GUI display isn't updating the stats of the adornment the more Points in steps you have.

I think the question really is: "Is Macabre Steps supposed to equip potency, crit bonus, max health and flurry by identical amounts?'. Because right now that's what it's doing. like 160 macabre motive points from steps increase potency, cb, max health, flurry by 40~, which seems a little strange because the stats are weighted very differently. Like one of its stats going from 57 to 97 would make you think the stat that is 10k would go to like 19k etc.

Since it's buggy in other ways (like sometimes you have to remove the pieces and rewear them to get the value of Macabre Steps), I figured it's not impossible that each of the values were supposed to be being increased by that same scale, and are instead being given the value of the last stat, which is one of the smallest.

i think its closer to each point of macabre motive is less than a quarter of 1% increase to stats or .0025% to the tooltip value of the adorn even though it doesnt show on the tooltip. It definitely does not offset the missing purple slot potential.

i.e. 10,000 potency x .0025 = 25
25 x 100 points = 2500 potency for 100 points of boost (not true)

475 CB x .0025 = 1.1875
1.1875 x 100 points = 118.75 (not true)

in reality adding 90 points of macabre is only 22 CB
to get to that amount the multiplier is approx .0005 per point
475 x .0005 = .2375 x 100 points = 23.75

even if the multiplier were .0025 it is far too low, and at .0005 it is not even noticeable and should be increased to at least what a purple adorn (vivid/grim) provides in CB. Otherwise, what is the point of grinding for this gear?
