Warlock bone curse - chaos bolt - cthonic fissure combo

[Horrow]

Hey everybody,

Here's a scenario:
- I get "Another Affliction" node in chaos bolt
and
- I specialise in Bone curse (specifics are not important for this case)
while
- I also specialise in Cthonic fissure and get the "Chaotic rupture" node

1. When I use Chaos bolts and the bone curse procs, does it scale with the Bone curse tree?
2. Also, if I use Cthonic fissure and it releases a Chaos bolt (which according to the node description should scale with the Chaos bolt tree), does the Bone curse released by the Chaos bolt scale with the Bone curse tree?

Does anybody know how it works or should work?

To me it looks as if the Bone curse released by the Chaos bolt has big area, just like when I use it on its own (due to "Conflation" node).

every skill only scales with its own tree unless stated otherwise.
"global" nodes have effects to your stats for example (global damage yxz
)

All abilities that trigger from another skill, receive all the benefits from their respective skill trees unless stated otherwise. In this example bone curse receives all the benefits of it's skill tree it if it's triggered from chaos bolt in the same way that chaos bolt receives all the skill tree benefits from it's tree when it's triggered from chthonic fissure.

That sounds insanely good. It's a bit confusing, because it seems they mention it on some node's description, but not in all cases..

In my case you're right, I can confirm that it works. I've put a point into Bone Curse - "Extreat the damned" node and killed mobs in these scenarios, and in all cases a skeleton vanguard was spawned eventually:
- Used only Cthonic fissure with "Chaotic rupture" node and "Another Affliction" node in chaos bolt.
- Used only Chaos bolt with "Another Affliction" node
- Used Transplant with "Doom bringer" node and then used Spirit plague to kill enemies which should not affect the outcome

Is there any example where they state that it does NOT scale with the triggered ability's tree? I don't remember seeing something like that, but I haven't played with all classes and skills yet.

Some nodes on a skill tree will say "when manually cast" those are the bonuses that don't apply to proc'd skills in most cases.

Hmm I see, I do remember reading something like that on a node somewhere.

Thanks for clearing these up for me!
