Battlemage's Cry and Iron Will not interacting

Unless it is intended (wich would contradict the wording from the keystone), the battlemage's cry isn't interacting with iron will's increased spell damage. I have a templar with 400 strength, and exerting my attacks with and without the keystone gem allocated doesn't change the tooltip damage in any way. Same with the support gem. If it is intended, I think that the wording is just too obscure. If that's the case, I suggest it should be changed to "Strength's damage bonus also applies to spells". This would make it clear that it applies to skills under the spell tag, not attacks, nor spell damage values.

My understanding is that Battlemage's Cry and Iron Will do work in combination, but only when the warcry has >20 power.

Iron Will + "Increases to Spell Damage also apply to Attack Damage" don't let you get twice the strength damage bonus for melee attacks. A single modifier will only affect damage once, and this goes for reapplying Strength's damage bonus as well. You only get the stronger effect of the two, between "Strength's damage bonus" and "Strength's damage bonus applies to spell damage, which then applies to attacks".

interesting theory! I'll try it later

You were right!!! That's exactly it! I tested it against the brine king, as 10 minimum power from mastery+ 20 power from an unique monster would result in the full warcry effect, so I could test allocating and unallocating it. And it made a very noticeable difference! Thank you very much!
