Explosive force on cluster jewel does not grant any bonus with wands. Fix please

well. i have 2 void batteries, which are physical based item. but the explosive force notes on cluster jewel does not grant extra chaos damage to my blade vortex spell. somethings is wrong? or i misunderstood anything?

explosive force adds % of phys as extra chaos damage to attacks with the wands, it won't add anything to spells.

it also causes mobs killed with wand attacks(hint not spells) to explode for chaos damage

if you are using primarily spells I would recommend not using this notable.

But the Notable did not say that it would not grant bonus damage for attack skills only. @@

It just bad wording of GGG.

stat id behind is "wand_physical_damage_%_to_add_as_chaos"

which almost the same as "Tempest Blast"'s wand_physical_damage_%_to_add_as_lightning


We don't have hybrid wand build before, but in fact Wandslinger's Increases and Reductions to Spell Damage also apply to Attacks while wielding a Wand, is wording like this in stat id

"additive_spell_damage_modifiers_apply_to_attack_damage_at_%_value_while_wielding_wand"

with wands(or any weapon type) = attacks only
while wielding a wand = not attacks

hi im not sure this is allowed but since its about explosive force, I just wanted someone to clarify how exactly it works. Is it only wand attacks or (I know it will sound dumb but since I dont have 900IQ to make builds just wanted to make sure) does it work as long as you have a wand equipped and something else kills the mobs like deaths oath aura?

It only applies to wand attacks. Even if it applied to spells as well (which it does not), it wouldn't add anything to Death Aura. Added damage only works for skills that hit, which Death Aura does not.

alright thank you for the clarification dear exile :D
