" Thanks, that's what I thought. The wiki confused me. What's the proper way to get it fixed on the wiki? It even specifically links to the Buff page. Should I PM someone or something? Last edited by Abdiel_Kavash#5296 on Jan 14, 2018, 12:23:33 AM

Uh. I know lowercaseviper and Adghar both edit the wiki on occasion? They'd probably know.

Hey, does the Essence of Horror buff 'Socketed Gems deal 30% more Elemental Damage' has an effect on minions skills, as those skills don't deal the damage themselves? Can it buff the summoned minions' skills?

Elder shield with "Socketed Gems are supported by Level # Cast When Damage Taken" + Necromantic Aegis.
When your minion is hit, spells in the shield and spells linked to the minion do not cast. Is this the intended functionality? My understanding is "Socketed Gems are supported by Level # Cast When Damage Taken" is a bonus from the equipped shield. |
|
" Necromantic Aegis' 'all bonuses from an Equipped Shield' means all direct stats, the cwdt support (and also the socketed gems themselfes) are not granted to your minions and is as far as I know intended behavior. This discussion is similiar to the 'The Surrender - lvl30 Reckoning is not granted to minions' discussion. |
|
" The bonuses are transferred, but the gems inside the shield are not. The minion skill is linked to CwDT (it is questionable whether this actually ever triggers, there is currently no way to test this in-game); but the minion does not have the linked skill gem, thus it has nothing to actually cast when it takes damage. tl;dr: working as intended. |

This is probably a "no", but I thought I'd double check:
Does linking Decay to Essence Drain increase the amount of life regen? |
|
" Nope. :) Essence Drain will heal you for some of the damage dealt by its debuff. Decay Support applies a separate debuff. (Poison inflicted by Essence Drain will not heal you for the same reason.) “Please understand that imposing strong negative views regarding our team on to other players when you are representing our most helpful forum posters is not appropriate.” — GGG 2022
---- I'm not 'Sarno' on Discord. I don't know who that is. |
|
" But the minion is not linked with CWDT - you can cast it directly. Rather, the gems "Socketed" in the minion should theoretically be supported by CWDT. What I want to know is what that actually means in terms of the code vs. what is intended. |

Hello, I wish I can get some official confirmation regarding stun mechanics and its interactions:
1. Can some one confirm that slow effects including chill and freeze do not affect stun duration on mobs? 2. I know that party scaling of mobs life does not affect their effective life pool. But do map mods that grant more life to mobs affect their effective life pool? In other words, will they be harder to stun? Many thanks for any response. I authored a stun build thread and really don't want to mislead people on game mechanics. |
