"10% more Damage for each Chain remaining" (even if it didn't chain)

When using Iron Heart, does the change to strength's damage bonus also apply when using Iron Grip or Iron Will? It seems like it should.

Also, all the strength-stacking uniques in this game are pretty lackluster. Someone with more money than me ought to create something worthwhile :)

Let's assume the following :
- I have a Gloomfang amulet equipped with "Lose 12 Life for each Enemy hit by your Spells"
- I have a neat shaper ring equipped with "14 Life gained for each Enemy hit by your Spells"

If I hit a pack of 20 mobs, I'm going to first lose 240 life then gain 280 life right? Would love a confirmation before I go into theorycrafting mode for my league starter.

They resolve simultaneously; a CI character does not die to Gloomfang with sufficient LGoH.

Thank you Viper for making my day :)

I just tested in standard, and Iron heart does increase the damage of a spell supported with Iron will.

I presume it would work the same way with Iron grip.

That may be my next build, thanks for the idea !

Thanks for the info! As for the build, I had a Molten Strike Chieftan in mind, was looking to get around 1800 strength to pair with IH and IG. Except now I'm enamored with the idea of a triple-totem Frostbolt Templar, while self-casting Ice Nova at the projectiles. And I'm sure I'll come up with three or four more before the league actually starts.

The Frostbolt and Ice Nova have to be cast by the same entity to interact. You will not be able to target Frostbolts casted by your Totems with a self-cast Ice Nova.

(Worth noting is that the interaction will work even if you trigger either of the skills, as long as they actually originate from you and not a proxy.)

Thanks, Buzzkillington :)

Onto the next build!
