Herald of Ice Quality - affect spell damage?

I can confirm it's global too. HoA increases my incinerate damage.
Ranger builds list: /917964
When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch?
If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...

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.

Increased Damage is additive.
2% Increased Damage grants you some 3 Damage. This means your Base Damage is around (3 * (100/2)=) 150, putting your total Increased Damage in the vicinity of 300%. Herald of Ice then increases this to 303%. That's why you're seeing such a small difference.

If you had read the thread I linked, you would see that Herald of Ash increased my Flame Surge Damage... Which cannot benefit from Herald of Ash's innate Damage bonus whatsoever.
