Skill DPS tooltip behaves strangely when equipping/unequipping rings (PoE 2)

Hello,
I’ve noticed a strange behavior with the skill DPS tooltip in Path of Exile 2 and wanted to ask if this is a known issue or intended behavior.

When I unequip my rings, my skill DPS either does not decrease or sometimes even increases.
When I equip the rings again, the skill DPS shown in the tooltip drops, even though the rings clearly have offensive stats.

I understand that tooltip DPS does not always reflect real DPS and that conditional modifiers, mana cost changes, or scaling issues can affect it. However, this behavior feels inconsistent, especially when simply removing items results in higher displayed DPS.

I’ve double-checked for:

+Conditional modifiers (on kill, while leeching, etc.)

+Damage type mismatches

+Mana sustain issues

The issue still persists.
Has anyone else experienced this in PoE 2? Is this a known tooltip bug, or am I missing a specific interaction?

Thanks in advance.

Might wanna double check again. I had the same thing happen to me and I missed my "Killer Instinct" on the passive tree which gives 40% increased damage on full life and 60% increased damage on low life. I unequipped a ring with maximum life on it. When I equipped it again my life was neither full nor low (was still regenerating), so I didn't get any of the bonuses from the passive and my DPS was "lower" with the ring equipped.

Thank you so much for your reply. I'll look into it again.
