Necromancer's 'Commander of Darkness' node not working in any aspect.

Reference Number:3,325,811,076

I had just finished cruel lab. Everything else worked fine. Opened chest, used my enchant, got my points. I then specced into Commander of Darkness. It took it, my skill tree shows them taken, but the node isn't giving me any of its three aspects. I've tried different aura's and everything.

Are you affected by the Auras? Generosity prevents Auras from applying to your character, which means you cannot benefit from any bonuses they yield.
I've got no alterations to Aura's whatsoever. The aura's are working fine. They're just not triggering Commander of Darkness.
Alright. Thanks for the confirmation. :)
So does this mean im not meant to get the commander of darkness bonus if the aura is linked to generosity. Shouldn't the skill description a bit more specific and say that you have to be affected by the aura to get the commander bonus?
ooops...and it's a ranger again
I have the same interaction where "Auras You Cast" seem to not count when the aura linked to Generosity.

Images - The tool tip numbers on SRS change when linking / unlinking Generosity:
Spoiler



Also looked at the tool tip numbers for default attack and they also change.

The description of the skill should be change immideately. This is costing people 10 regret every time they take that node.

What baffles me is the fact that the last line of the passive is written correctly:
You and allies AFFECTED BY YOUR AURAS have +20% to all elemental resistances.

The discription should read:
You and allies AFFECTED by YOUR AURAS gain +5% increased attack and cast speed per aura.
You and allies AFFECTED by YOUR AURAS gain +10% increased damage per aura.
You and allies AFFECTED by YOUR AURAS gain +20% to all elemental resistances per aura.
(Generosity support gem negates the effect on caster)

Considering the fact that I dont know of any summoner build (theme for Necromancer I take it?) that doesn't use Generosity support gem.
They are all written correctly.
There's a simple reason for the different wording, btw:

The first two lines add a bonus to all your individual Auras. Each Aura you cast grants 10% Increased Damage and 5% Increased Attack/Cast Speed, on top of its normal effect. Generosity explicitly states that linked Auras have no effect on you. Blasphemy clearly doesn't apply to the user.

The third line grants a bonus to you/allies affected by one of your Auras - but it's not part of any specific Aura you cast. None of your Auras themselves grant 20% All Resists, instead the binary state of "is affected by a Commander of Darkness Aura" does that.
That might be true but if i read "cast" i think that EVERY aura counts, even if the don't effect me directly. I'm sure a lot of people thinkt that and are a little pissed if they find out the truth.
ooops...and it's a ranger again
So Viper are you confirming this is intentional or still being looked at?

As mentioned, generosity setup with Hatred is staple in all Summoner builds, this degrades our already limited choice of Ascendency points further (I already take two mini nodes for my 2 Uber points as the others are useless)
