Stat value and it's function " INCREASED EFFECT OF NON CURSE AURAS"

[Dr. Sarkasmus]

Hey everyone!

Iam quite new to this game and iam currently doing some small adjustments for my current build. I engaged an interesting stat, its called:


" Increased effect of non-curse auras you cast"

I wasn't able to statisfy myself with the answers i found on the www.

For me it sounds quite simple....

Every aura that I cast, that is not a curse aura (combined blasphemy mechanic), gets affected by this stat.


So, for example, i use "Herald of Thunder"

Current stat value increases:

45-2124 lightning damage
13-53 lighting damage to attacks
13-53 lightning damage to spells

I spent 1 point in a 6% increase of the above stat ( located above the Necromantic Aegis skill, on the right side of the tree)
and all listed values of "Herald of Thunder" didn't change.

I could understand if those very small values didn't change at all, cause of rounding numbers, but atleast that high lightning damage value 2124 i was expecting to increase, somehow, it didn't.

The tooltip stayed the same......


Is there any hidden mechanic in it?
Is the tooltip not being affected by this stat?
Do i totally misunderstand that stat?


Please bring light into that issue.....

AND, because we are at it....

LEADERSHIP, the end tier point in that small area of the passive skill tree, the 50% increased area of effect increase of aura skills.... I think this should be the radius increase of my auras?



Thanks!

The reason is due to the fact the tooltip doesn't change. Tooltip won't always change, usually because there isn't a way to properly calculate something.

Increase AoE of aura skills is exactly what you said, a larger radius on your aura (worthless for solo play).

Edit: Just read you said Herald of Thunder, Herald of Thunder won't be affected by that modifier because it isn't classified as an aura.

Herald of Thunder or any of the other heralds will not reveice an increase in damage from the aura nodes since it is considered a buff instead of an aura. This applies to all the Herald gems. These can only be buffed by items like the Ichimonji (side note:Blasphemy is not affected either like you said, can take curse nodes for that).

But as far I recall the tool tip on the actual auras doesn't get updated when you get nodes or items that buff them. These effects are only visible through increased stats on your character sheets/main damage skill IIRC.

Correct on leadership aswell. Due to how Area of Effect works nowadays the AoE increase will not be that significant past a certain point anyway.

Yeah you need to be careful with tags, poe is very strict in that way. It doesn't matter what you think or how it looks like, what matters is how it's tagged, heralds are not auras because there is no aura tag in the tag list, same with warcrays not being spells etc.

Hi!

First of all, thanks for your answers!

Said but true, i kinda lost myself there in the variety of stat-values that exist... and yes, Herald wasn't a good example, because its not an aura right.... totally missed that in this case.

Anyway... i took another skill for testing, i double checked it on Haste and it seem it doesnt work on that AURA. It DOES work on Clarity somehow, my manaregen went up, my cast speed multiplier didn't...

Any thoughts on that? (I watched on the character window where i can see all my socketed skill gems)


Both, "Clarity" and "Haste" have Aura, Spell, Aoe....


Thanks ;)

Can you give us some values?

Haste needs to be level 22 (for cast speed, attack speed would need level 21; so empowered because 20 is the base maximum) before you'd see a 6% increase change the value (as it'd be rounded down and 17% is the first value that rounds down to a higher value when multiplied by 1.06)
