Summon Raging Spirit - damage effectiveness?

Ok, so it says 70% effective. 74% of what? Your weapon damage? 70% of the ozone level? 70% of the cash in your wallet?

As with damage effectiveness on all spells that have it, it's a multiplier for flat damage that is added to the spell (by, say, the Added Lightning Damage support gem). Of course in this case it applies to the damage added onto Spirits' attacks.

It doesn't multiply the flat elemental damage of my support gems by 0.7 though.

I too have been puzzled by this.

Can anyone clarify on Raging Spirit damage?

It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How are you determining this? If it's from the tooltip, it's far more likely that the tooltip is wrong, given how regularly they tend to be. If not, I'm not sure.

It multiplies support damage on the minion, tooltip is often wrong when things like those are considered. If you linked melee splash it wouldn't show the damage penalty either.

But it isn't really wrong, when you summon a minion it gains all mods on skill gem and supports and those determine its final damage. So if your tooltip says 'added 10-20 damage' and 'does 70% of base damage' that can only mean the actual cold damage it does will be 7-14, if it showed final damage it wouldn't be able to show us 'does 70% of base damage' also, and it's important to know if you use auras or such.

70% of added dmg gems, and 70% of added dmg auras (like wrath and anger)

Wait, the first time I found it with a Lv.5 character it did pretty decent damage by itself, BUT, not when I put it in my summoner Lv.71 and leveled it in a same-level map.

So, what's the stand-alone damage? Is it a support gem for supports gems that does little damage on its own but nowhere to be found? How come leveling it up doesn't change a single number? Does it do the same damage at Lv.1 and Lv.15?

Devs, a little help here please, the wiki hasn't any idea either.

Of course not, it's a summon like any other, it gains damage with gem level, base damage of your zombies might be 15 at level 1 and 1500 at level 20. Of course your spirits had no chance to kill something when used on level 71 map.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I leveled the gem in a map with the same level as the gem, as I level it up, so it would be balanced with the enemies, but noticed it did less damage.

Zombies are other minions that should state the DPS, but at least their gem says % of damage increasing.
