You need to hit (and do damage) first before any on-hit effects can be applied. So no, you can't buff a single hit by any aftereffects of itself.

so lets say i shoot a fireball it crits it wont get the 40% dmg buff only my 2nd fireball will?

Does the enchantment on the helmet buff every value of rallying cry?

In this example, do 174%, 13.4 and 16% all get buffed by 75%?

Does the rallying cry enchant effect both? i went thru 20 pages after the comment and cannot find an answer....please answer thanks

Not quite. It increases the value of all the stats granted by the Rallying Cry Buff. However, this buff only grants two stats, not three - "x% increased Damage" and "y Mana regenerated per second". The total amount of increased damage is calculated by the skill when cast, and depends on how many enemies are nearby, but it is only this one total value that is put into the buff, and then increased by the buff effect stat.
I practice this doesn't matter a lot, but does make a difference in terms of where rounding happens.

The way I read his answer is: Yes, it affects both.

There is mixed info I have found on how the "less" modifier works on spell totems.

How does this affect minion summoning?

Do Totem "Damage" nodes on the tree mitigate the loss from the "less" modifier if applicable?

Thanks

Hi all,

I am wondering if the "Nightstalker" node which grants "50% Increased Critical Strike Chance with Daggers" also applies to spells that are cast while holding a dagger, and by extension, if it also applies to spells that are cast from a Cast on Critical Strike setup, while holding a dagger? Or does the bonus only apply to damage actually caused by an Attack with the dagger?

If the bonus also applies to spells/CoC spells, then this node and other nodes such as "From The Shadows" are now much more worthwhile.

FWIW I am running a Cyclone CoC Elemental Spell Dagger build.
