Showcasing New War for the Atlas Gems and Items

Why is the base spell damage of Detonate Dead at level 20 the exact same base damage as the pre-3.1 DD gem has when the patch notes state "The base fire damage dealt by the spell part of the explosion has been significantly increased."?

Donate dead green text is not updated.
It says it can't be modified with spell damage. Also 'cannnot' has one too many n.

The EXPLOSION is not affected by spell damage. DD is divided into two parts - spell part (deals damage around the corpse) and corpse explosion part (explodes the corpse). Spell part is affected by spell damage (and is a subject to reflect if i understand correctly), but the corpse explosion part is not.

A mechanics question regarding this new vulnerability gem

"Cursed enemies have a xx% chance to bleed when hit by attacks
Cursed enemies have a xx% chance to be maimed when hit by attacks"

Suppose I already have a 30% chance to maim my enemies when I hit.

Will these two bonuses add together into a single check resuling in 60% maim chance?
Or, will my maim chance and the monster's maim chance be two separate checks, resulting in a 51% chance?

Good job keeping Detonate Dead's base damage exactly the same despite saying its been significantly increased.

Nice! Finally I will pick up rares again

so cremation is nerf to ground before even released? i mean max with 3 gaysir, nobody will use for sure...

New Vuln opens 3 slots in my 3.1 Reave/BF Glad. That's HELLA GOOD! Thanks GGG ^^.

So I imagine that a lot of these new "shaped" attributes will be build enabling. How far can they be min/maxed is the question...

does vulnerbility trigger the bleed or is it the attack ?

Ie will this allow you to trigger bloodlust bonus dmg without a secondary attack.

There is something wrong with Spell Cascade Support Gem :

I think a "Damage" is missing on one of the first lanes.

The mechanics of increases and decreases vs less and more are different, therefore having one of each type is not unreasonable.

In this case, the increase will partially offset the less, how effectively depending on how much you've invested in other increases.
