questions about some of the level 2/3 support skills

[Bomjus]

cryogenic stasis: can you add heals onto the heal from this skill? so i can use rallying cry on someone who has the cryo stasis effect on them?

healing ritual: does this only target allies on the jumps after the initial cast? or will it chain between undead as well to damage them?

shackles of pain: you still take full damage right? it's just like you had 100% retribution towards one character? so you get hit for 100, take 100 damage and the person you are shackled to takes 100 damage? also is magic damage taken converted to physical damage for the shackled target?

infect: anyone know the % of damaged reduced by this skill? and if it scales with level? (it just says the damage does, not the damage reduction, which is why i'm asking)


not questions but notes for people who are looking at support skills:

i HIGHLY recommend two summoning on any support character regardless of their focused schools. soul mate, dominate mind, and bone widow are all very strong even without tons of points in summoning. soul mate lets you basically get ~150% of every support skill on a 3 turn cooldown (and it lasts 2 turns) which is completely insane. it also is more than 50% it seems because when testing i healed myself for 116 and sebille was healed for 70 which is ~60%. dominate mind lets you charm which is another form of damage mitigation and skill level is irrelevant. and bone widow vs incarnate is a hot debate but for a NON summoning character bone widow is only 1 memory slot and is just a nice meat shield to have on the field

it does say "nearby characters" so possibly. if that's the case then it's a hard pass. not worth the slot for my build. but while it says that i would hope it's enemies only. would be a pretty ♥♥♥♥ skill for most melee necromancers if it spread to themselves

well in game and on the wiki it specifically states "will spread to other nearby characters" so yeah i think it has friendly fire unfortunately. AND i ended up testing it myself and currently, at character level 11, it reduces constitution by 3 and damage by -35% (which is significant). it is also resisted by physical armor. so it is still useful if you can shred enemy armor while keeping your own up. lowering their damage by 35% but keeping yours the same. like my current party is 4 summoners, and as most may know incarnate champions have a ♥♥♥♥ ton of armor with fortify and infusions. so i don't care if my damage is reduced by 35% so infecting myself and all the enemies doesn't matter as long as my incarnates are unaffected.
