Absorb spells and cruor buffs

[Killvearn]

Not sure if that it's a issue or not, but in abyssea after getting cruor buffs if you perform an absorb spell, like abrsorb-str for example, you don't stack the str absorbed by the spell with the str you obtained from buffs. I heard that the gain spell of the rdm don't have this kind of problem is that a bug? Same thing happens, and this is really bad and should be fixed in my opinion, with the max hp boost effect of drain II.
Thanks for your attention and you work.

I want to say it was intentional because the Fenrir buffs don't stack with cruor buffs either.

yeah..noticed that too. he can give us the ACC/EVA buff, but not the stats--gives the "no effect" message or something. I just figured it was intentional and stopped using it. Not like it will make much a difference when you have +40-+60 from cruor plus what you are getting from Atma.....

Steps:
In battle, if performing an absorb spell, the bonus drained from mobs doesn't stack with cruor enhancement. Same thing happens with Drain II Max HP Boost effect.

@Tsukino and Raist
like i said i'm not sure if that is intentional or not, but i don't get it anyway because it's kinda of unfair considering a rdm can boost the stats without having the problem of 1)landing the spell on a mob 2)absorb relevant % of that stat.
Anyway if those are intentional ok, no problem i'll accept, i just wondering why. I hope at least Drain II will be fixed because it really make the difference for drk considering soul eater.

I want to say it was intentional because the Fenrir buffs don't stack with cruor buffs either.

Carbuncle buffs stack with carbuncle buffs though. (Kind of hot being able to get 25 STR, though it is a shame it is just momentarily and it drops off fast. Not to mention it is random, so you'll never try to do this as a strategy, just for giggles outside a city.)
