Will +spell damage% work on Raging Spirits?

I may be wrong(haven’t played any POE since Harvest league in POE1), but aren’t those considered minions? If that’s the case, spell damage is for the player only.

Try to learn how to check tags on each gem, that will help you immensely when trying to figure out what actually affects your gems.

SRS does not have the spell tag, so it cannot benefit from it. It does not necessarily end there, though. If for whathever reason an interaction from or with the minion results in a spell being cast, that will scale with spell%.

We will probably have a proper wiki with all these interactions and systems properly documented at some point, but it will take a while. Don't bother checking garbage like Fextralife and "fake wikis" of sorts, its more reliable to search on forums and youtube instead

Yo, you seem to be experienced. So there's a ranger attack gem, it's lvl 1, that gives you lightning attack with some beams. This gem has projectile tag. But does that mean beams are projectiles too for that skill? So will beams of that skill benefit from projectile damage increase in passive tree, for example?

In theory it would only benefit the initial hit, which i assume its not the main appeal of the skill you are describing. The same can be said about skills like essence drain for instance, which does some hit damage but the real dps comes from the dot effect which follows. This gem does benefit from projectile damage, speed, all of that, but just for the initial hit. The dot itself cannot scale with proj dmg.


That can be good and bad, in this scenario any gem which has lowered projectile damage as a drawback won't be an issue, since the dot (or perhaps your beams) will be the real source of damage.
