Herald of Ice Quality - affect spell damage?
|
Quality on Herald of Ice gem increases "damage" by .75% per quality. If I were to GCP a level 20, would I get more spell damage/attack damage? If not, does that mean quality only affects the 'exploding' damage?

It affects ANY Cold Damage you do, no matter the source.

" False. |

" no, its true The heralds are buffs, and the increased cold HoI gets, doesnt mention your spells, or you do x% increased cold damage. Since it doesnt mention where the x% goes, it goes to the herald its damage itself, the secondary effect. Same for tempest shield btw Ign: Leary_AscendedNecro Twitchtv: leary93 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfzgUpVcv6wzrs5TwKZaGJQ Last edited by leary93#3748 on Nov 9, 2014, 6:31:44 PM

it might be part of the buff thus global. But tempest shield is a buff too and quality is local.. Im not sure about the mechanics behind it, havent tested it yet.. was using TS precedent
Id only wish the "you are wrong" sayers have included some explanations too, like "Ive tested it and.." or "it is because I think this mechanics works like..".. Saying only "false" leads nowhere IGN: Eric_Lindros CET: Timezone Last edited by Ludvator#6587 on Nov 9, 2014, 6:56:33 PM

Herald's Quality applies globally.
(Tempest Shield does apply locally, last I checked, but that was pre-Heralds) Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Nov 9, 2014, 8:45:32 PM

" thanks for the source, that is suprising, but in my opinion, at least a good suprise. Makes it worthwhile Q-ing them up, unlike TS Ign: Leary_AscendedNecro

Spoiler
Quick testing:
FP with HoI (2% quality) 1% cold damage = 581 cold damage FP with HoI (5% quality) 3% cold damage = 584 cold damage Quality on HoI only applies to the damage added(to skills/spells) and the aoe secondary effect of HoI. So it is local to the damage added/caused by HoI, and not global(in that sense that it would increase cold damage from other sources) as far as I can tell. if it was global (or even just increased the damage of skills it was being applied to) you'd expect the jump to be to more like ~592 damage. No more math with a migraine. Last edited by Agashi#7145 on Nov 10, 2014, 1:37:03 PM

Yes, quality of HoI improves cold damage globally. Even the cold damage provided by Hatred.
Tested it on my Tornado/Punc Ranger that runs HoI/HoA/Hatred. |
