Does Aftershock actually work? (Pyker AoE skill tree)

[Tyrel [R]]

Aftershock says:
"+10% Warp damage to Area Effect skills"

Judging by that description and the name of the skill I'd imagine that it should do a secondary hit after each one of my attacks, doing 10% of the original damage. That is not happening however, as I never see 2 damage numbers flying from a single target. (using Witchfire for example)

I thought that maybe the description sucks and instead it simply increases the damage of Warp based abilities by 10%, however when I equip this skill the damage numbers on Warp Blast don't change...

So WTF is this skill supposed to do? Does it even work?

[Irrelevant]

If a skill does 0 Warp dmg 10% more will still be 0. It works with Hemorrage at least so far that it adds dmg, just check your tooltips before and after you purchased the point. I think this one is tied to the Rune that transfers half fire dmg into warp dmg.

No, I specifically said that it does not do anything to the damage of Warp Blast, which clearly has a warp type base damage.

For example Touched by the Empyrean on the Radical skill tree does alter the tooltip of Warp Blast, adding extra damage... Aftershock does not, that's why I'm supposing that the skill doesn't work.

P.S.: was about the 10th time I wasted a Mind Reset just to check if something is bugged... this is getting ridiculous.

Isn't Warp Blast a weapon attack, not a skill?

weapon attacks and spells utilze the same increases so if you have all fire based skills the anything with heat would increase them, not just the spellz.

Yeah Warp Blast is the first skill of Warp Rods, but it doesn't matter that it's a weapon skill. It does warp damage.

Witchfire for example (second skill of Warp Rods) does benefit from the +50% fire damage boost of Fiery Form.
