Hi! i have a question about summon raging spirit with united in dream that when the poison kills the corrupted blood bloodlines mod i get a corrupting blood does that mean i get the kill? because my summon raging spirit is linked with item quantity support so it doesn't work?

Coincidentally, I have a question to SRS with poison as well. If my Spirits poison an enemy, does that DoT damage get amplified by a Witchfire Brew flask?

I'm more or less following a Freezing Pulse guide (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1746064) where the author uses a Cold to Fire gem and I'm wondering what the benefit of that is/can be in contrast to going full cold damage (with Cold Penetration gem).

Do passives like Lust for Carnage and Hematophagy boost the amount of life leech gained by a Chieftan from his totems?

If I'm crafting a weapon using an Essence of Rage, is there any benefit to using, say, a Deafening vs. a Shrieking? The guaranteed result is the same +2 to Fire Gems, but I'm wondering if Deafening has a better chance of rolling higher tier mods.

Sorry if this question was asked before:

What happens if I use divine orb on legacy reach of the council? If it is 4 additional arrow version, does it return back to 2 additional arrow version?

Yes

What is the radius/ meaning of the "Nearby enemies" keyword in the Overwhelming odds unique jewels?

Hey Guys,
i am running a lab miner and i cant figure out what happens first:
when i set up my mines with the spell totem and stuff i reach 0.05sec cast speed and i am always not shure if the shock from the vinktar and the burn from RF is even applying before my mines detonate and deal damage.
So how fast is stuff like burning and shock and curses form blasphemy applied? Are there server tick rates or something? I dont know how to test this exept i would have like a 144hz display and analyse it frame by frame :/

if someone has an idea it would be nice if you would let me know

Hey there Mark, I was wondering if the "50% more damage versus burning enemies" modifier on Flame Surge would double dip with effects such as poison?

Thanks!
