Totems affected by Auras?

I have my Siege Ballista..its a Totem...and I have Hatred Aura. As the Ballista deals "my" Damage, I can read the Damage increase when I turn on Hatred. When I try to combine with Generosity e.g., I see no Damage effect for my spells and attacks (thats correct), but also no damage increase with Siege Ballista....So is the Ballista affected by Player´s Auras? Cant see an Aura ring around the Ballistas. And where can I read the effect of Generousity.....Hatred always sais 28 %, but Generosity should increase this value, right?


How do the Minion Necros do this? How can you "see" the damage increase of the support Auras or see if it affects the minions?

Generosity prevents the Totem from gaining the bonus.

The way it works is this: Totems use your offensive stats and only your offensive stats, but their own defensive stats and only their defensive stats.

So auras like Discipline, Grace, Vitality will affect your Totems, but Hatred will never affect them directly - they affect your player character (Exile), and when your Exile gains that added damage, your Totems do too. If your Exile can't gain the extra damage, then your Totems can't either.

No, and it drives summoner player crazy!!!! Also, Totems act differently from Minions.

Totems aren't directly affected by offensive auras, but since they use your stats when using skills they get the benefit as long as the aura applies to you. Using Generosity will prevent your totems getting that benefit. Defensive auras apply to totems directly as long as they're in range - Generosity would work there, although goodness knows why you'd want to do that.

Minions are a different kettle of fish. They don't use your stats and are affected by auras like any other ally. You can see the ring around their feet if they're in range, etc. You can't ever see minion damage numbers though.

As I recall, aura effect doesn't ever show up on the tooltip. Just a long-standing bug/technical limitation.

Edit: slow :(

OK, you two made it clear to me....

I was just trying some Blasphemy / Aura / Curse stuff and asked my self about this support gem.

But I remember that Minions have the Aura Circle arount their feet, the Totems dont...so I could have seen the difference myself ;)
