[BUG] Blasphemy and Commander of Darkness

I can see your point lordplenty.

The node says "Auras you Cast grant 5% increased Attack and Cast Speed to you and Allies"

A curse you cast with blasphemy is an aura you cast. It does not grant 5% increased Attack and Cast Speed to you and Allies. So it seems like the wording is incorrect.

The same argument holds for generosity too. If you use generosity on an aura, it won't give you the attack or cast speed. Even though the node specifically says it does.

It is difficult for GGG to change the wording though. How should they get across the point that you (and allies) need to be affected by the aura to get the benefit from the aura?
Perhaps if you try to come up with some better wordings you will see why they chose this one!

Basically, they are just relying on people to 'work out' the meaning, without having a 4 page instruction manual about it. It seems obvious to some people (like Vipermagi) that if an aura doesn't affect you, this extra bonus won't affect you either, so they probably made the right choice.

to get the benefit from the aura

from the Ascendancy node.


I think this would be a bit better:

"

Each Aura you Cast affecting you or Allies also grants 10% increased Damage.
Each Aura you Cast affecting you or Allies also grants 5% increased Attack and Cast Speed.
You and Allies affected by your Auras have +20% to all Elemental Resistances

The wording on Golem and CoD is identical, so I thought that the code would be similar.
If condition x (aura/golem active), apply y (regeneration, damage/speed buff) to player/ally as a global effect.

"

The Aura grants said bonus, but the Aura has to apply to you in order for you to benefit. The Golem grants a Buff that does apply to you, hence you can benefit from said modifier. It's not that hard.

Again, I know how it works.


The problem is that the node does not say that the buff is applied to and trough the aura, but that cast auras give the buff.

This gives the condition as Cast Aura, and suggest that bonus is applied directly, in the same way as Golems do.




1) The Golem Grants you the buff, no trigger mentioned, so it only requires a golem being active.

2) Punishment specifies all the triggers (being hit by a cursed mob grants you a buff).

3) CoD, with the wording exactly like that of a golem, specifies Cast Auras as prerequisite, and no other triggers.

In short, on wording alone, I would expect a buff icon with damage/speed boost and a counter for any/every Aura I cast, whether it applies to me, my neighbour's dog, or nothing at all.

What about Curses on map mods...since they are affecting you wouldn't that mean that its a boost for minions then?
