Hi, I have a question regarding linking both feeding frenzy and meatshield on skeletons. Since skeletons normally aggro anything in a wide range, would they still for example attack and have a chance to taunt if I a move far away? The only reason I want to link both at same time is for them to give me the feeding frenzy buff and act as a taunt mechanic at the same time againt bosses or when enemies get nar me since you can spawn them anywhere you want it's useful for drawing aggro from you or the rest of your minions and if they die is not a big issue. So my question is if they would still taunt and attack normally if I am far away.

Linking Feeding Frenzy + Meat Shield to any minion will cancel each other out. Whatever their default aggro range is is what they will have, and they will neither be aggressive nor defensive. Everything else the support gems do will remain.

Skeletons already have a further aggro range than FF grants and are naturally aggressive, so even if FF is linked to them they don’t benefit from the increased range stats, thus getting the dash bonus instead. With your setup they will definitely maintain the same range, but I can’t say 100% they will remain aggressive, though I believe they would.

You can also get minions have #% chance to taunt on hit from jewels, saving you an entire support gem. If you link FF to another minion (ie Golem), you still get the full damage bonus to skeletons, only losing the dash mechanic, too saving a support gem.

HI, noticed in Character sheet that movement speed is either bugged visualy or just not working properly or Champion Inspirational Ascendancy dont show up on tooltip
Movespeed shows 38% while it should show 50%
here is why:
Boots: 30% + 5% while having fortify + 3% shield + 12% Inspirational = 50%
I do have Art of Gladiator allocated aswell so there should be no penalty from armour.

if i put plague bearer into crest of desire. will PB get double damage bonus?

Hi! If I anoint an amulet with the Golem Commander passive, and I allocate it in the skill tree as well, do I get +2 Golems or does it not stack?

Doesn't stack.

Hi i have a question about game mechanics

I need to clarify interactions of flame wall with magma orb.
Lets say i use magma orb with inevitability and cast flame wall near me, so its add damage to projectile. Then it chains will inevitability multiply added damage of flamewall?

Hi,

I was just asking myself if I have both the cluster jewel notable Cult-leader and the notable Spiritual Aid allocated, while also having a herald active.

Will I also gain the 35% increased damage, or is that cluster jewel notable not affected by Spiritual Aid?

Thanks!

Hello. I've got a few in-depth questions....that might seem silly since I've just started.

Channelling skills. If I understand it correctly, the cast time is actually time between separate instances of the spell that each apply damage and triggers. I've noticed that there are passives with specific modifier for channeling speed, so I assume that they cut down this time. Is it also affected by generic cast speed modifiers?

Little bit about damage modifiers. Do different modifiers stack additively or multiplicatively, e.g. having +100% cold damage, +100% elemental damage and +100% spell damage result in damage of cold spell being boosted to 400% or 800%?

And about travel spells. Lightning Warp, is the delay between cast and teleport fixed at moment of cast, or is it changed in the interval if user moves, like frostblinking in the opposite direction?
Leap Slam, can the flight time itself be modified in any way, and what kind of damage can be avoided while in flight? I noticed I can leap over labyrinth traps, but while I'm not really sure, I think that at least sometimes I was hit by other means while in flight.

AoE of non-circular spells, how exactly is it enhanced by modifiers? Say, Incinerate, will the cone be lengthened while maintaining the same width at terminal point, thus narrowing it over most of its length, lengthened while maintaining angle, or increased angle while maintaining or increasing range?
Edit: I mean both Incinerate's primary fire stream and the final shockwave.

If you have Inspiration Charges, does the Inspiration Support apply its elemental damage and critical strike chance multipliers to minion skills? The wording makes me unsure. I know minions cannot gain Inspiration Charges, but the wording makes it seem as though the mods scale with player Inspiration Charges regardless of what it supports.

Hello,

I tried to research this online, but I didn't find any results (at least for the 1st question), so I thought that I should ask the pros.

I have a summoner build with 2 hungry loop rings.

My 1st question is: can any catalyst improve the socketed/consumed gems?

The 1st ring has:
Active gem: Anomalous Raise Zombie
Support 1: Impale
Support 2: Melee Physical Damage
Support 3: Multistrike
Support 4: Minion Damage

The 2st ring has:
Active gem: Anomalous Raise Spectre
Support 1: Meatshield
Support 2: Blood Magic
Support 3: Fortify
Support 4: Minion Life

My 2nd question is: does Watcher's Eye Pride aura mod "chance to deal double damage" apply to minions, if I have pride linked with generosity?
Do any of the Watcher's Eye Pride mods apply to summoner builds?

Thank you very much for your time!
