Does The Consuming Dark work with Raging Spirit?

Hey folks, does anyone know if The Consuming Dark converts damage from Raging Spirits in to chaos damage?

Thanks a ton and God bless.

Don't think it would, the same way taking fire damage nodes doesn't affect them. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. :)

Nah, no bonus that applies to you will also work on minions unless stated so.

Aww darn, thanks guys : ).

Really ? So, let's say, if someone takes avatar of fire and then use minions with added cold dmg it would still work ? That could be nice way of using elemental equilibrium

You don't need Avatar of Fire for that (note: you apply EE, your Minions do not), but yes.

Ahh, dang it.... thanks for answering. That probably would be less effective than just cursing them but I was just curious. Still, if minions don't trigger EE doing reversal could be viable - use some single element attack or spell to just trigger EE.

With AoF you would be sure that none of your teammates auras would change your element.... still, fire build would hate to play with you.

It should be also viable with Ancestral bond.

From the wiki:


So even if dmg would be zero, you should still be able to trigger EE.

A fair lot of Summoners do use Arc or something similar to apply EE and usually a Curse or two at the same time. About Ancestral Bond though...

First of all, Totems use your stats and will thus apply EE themselves, and EE only triggers if you deal Elemental Damage. Zero damage is not Elemental damage.

To clarify:

Minions do not use anything of you because they are a separate entity.

Traps, mines, and totems are not "full" entities, as they use your abilities but as a separate entity. Thus, "some" of your gear and passives apply to them-but only in regards to their ability. In the case of a proc that you would gain, the totem, trap, or mine would instead gain it. For instance, if you would gain an endurance, frenzy, or power charge for hitting an enemy, the totem, trap, or mine will get it instead since they made the attack/cast.

Zero damage is zero damage. You only deal elemental damage if you actually hurt the target.

Yea, that what I was suspecting. Good to know before actualy checking it by myself xD
