Double damage with attacks doesn't stack

Paradoxica has double damage with attacks. Painforged also doubles damage with attacks. There is a veiled mod that doubles damage when focused.

There is no indication that these 3 mods do not stack but I just hit 66 and bought a pardoxica and, as far as I can tell (this game really needs a damage testing dummy), the damage from counter attacks is only doubled, not quadrupled.

I can find very little information as this mod was pretty obscure until this patch. The way I think it works is that doubled damage is a binary (yes/no) and only the percentage chance of it occurring stacks but both painforged and paradoxica are 100% chance.

Anyone know if this is intentional?

Probably intended.

200% chance to deal +100% damage isn't equal to 100% to deal +200/300% damage.

I think that is what I said in my third paragraph. Given the wording however, I would have expected both of the effects to double the damage. I'm just looking for some confirmation here rather than speculation.

1 X 2 X 2 = 4 but I'm getting 1 X 2 X 2 = 2 as far as I can tell.
That’s how other things work. The stacking occurs on the chance and not on the damage.

That is because double damage is a boolean. Either it deals double damage or it doesn't. This is not very well explained anywhere.
