I wonder if Vaal Double Strike works the same way.
... So skills use the totems stats, but supports do not?

It's a matter of the way damage is calculated, I think. Totem damage passives work something like 'increase to your damage if it comes through a totem', none of those bonuses that a totem skill uses actually applies to the totem itself. RF worked with your health for a very long time until it was redirected to the totem, so I'm guessing they hotwired something there to force the condition, that it isn't the way it usually works.

Vaal Double Strike isn't creating a minion like Mirror Arrow, it works like a totem so it most likely also checks your life pool.

Thanks for testing Shppy!!! Good to know how it works now. :)

Does melee damag eon full life work if i cast ancestral warchief with blood magic? i see the youtuber disantle time do it . but i always thought the totems snapshot your stats when you cast it. like if you cast it when you had vaal haste the totems will have increased att speed even after the vaal haste wears off on the caster

Well if you read the Description of the Gem your Question would have been solved.

"Supports attack skills, providing a bonus to all damage dealt by those skills while your life is full."
