However, Toxic Delivery is worded as "You".

The word "you" does not have any sort of definition.
Traps, Mines and Totems use your character's offensive stats. You have Poison on Hit, your Traps use that property.

And here I thought totems were not considered as using ascendancies labeled as 'you', from what I last heard here. Thanks for clearing that up.

Edit: I knew traps and mines did, however.

Hi there!

Wanted to ask about blasphemy. Why doesn't it work like auras? I mean auras can go through big obstacles like walls. When blasphemy cannot do that when it is said that curse is cast like aura.

Simple question, probably gonna need a dev to look up the exact value on this one. I couldn't find any info on this elsewhere.

What is the base mine arming time?

I'm trying to do some calculations with Saboteur's "100% mine increased arming speed" so the exact duration would help greatly.

Thanks in advance.

Be careful as just the ones which inherently gives the effect to your totems/traps/mines work. All of which apllies to the property of your offensive skills but not the rest. (for exemple "if you have killed recently" won't apply to totems, etc.)

Edit: just read it applies to DoTs, but my question on contagion spread remains.

Bex_GGG had given the answer in a past Q&A and the kill is made by the DoT which was active for the longest time (So basically the first one that was applied practically ). Using the ED contagion combo you would apply contagion first so you should have the IIR gem with it.

Much obliged for this answer, thank you!

Wanna ask about new 2.4 unique helmet - Kitava's Thirst (http://i.imgur.com/GY4uRDh.png)

Does it work with multiple copies of same spell?
From what the item text says i can assume it does but still want a clarification.

Hello Mark, regarding The Brass Dome + Belt of the Deciever synergy:

I wondered if these two items combined would result in 70% damage taken when recieving critical strike; or simply 100% damage taken because of The Brass Dome?

Thanks in advance

Hey Mark..

>>>Its been 3 weeks since i discovered this<<<

I just made a Animate weapon build where i switched from Melee Physical to Elemental Focus in one of the sockets on a 6link..
The mana cost went from aprox 219 to 264,(with Dynamo allocated, and like 247 to 299 without) even though the multipliers themselves dont make any sense compared to the mana cost on the skill..

Elemental Focus Support -- Mana Multiplier: 130%
Melee Physical Damage Support -- 140% Mana Multiplier

The Mana cost got higher when equiping a gem with less mana multiplier..
The question is if one of them is showing the wrong amount or somehow it's inside the gem/s the problem is (if you know what i mean) ;p
Perhaps other skills have the same problem`?

Thanks
