You were right to challenge my assertion. I definitely no longer think this. I tested it off the dummy and went out of my way to make sure I was watching only DoT numbers.

My problem is that my build hits so many times it can muffle the DoT numbers! The yellow numbers from my hits would cover the white numbers and I was missing them. However when I stop attacking and leave the DoTs to just do their thing they're never yellow.

Sorry!

"stats which are conditional on the status of the target don't get passed along".

idk what that means

I've never seen yellow dots. But it seems like majority of my hits are big and yellow. Does that mean I'm criting every hit??

Just delete the official forums at this point, you never post anything important for long term players only unknown faceless redditors, or in discord, you only communicate here as its more 'popular'

Would love if a dev confirmed but I feel like DoTs being yellow is because they're a combination of multiple DoTs, but that's a guess based on observations. My Bladedancer that deals Poison, Bleed, and Ignite, gets yellow DoT damage almost all the time.

Do non-conditional nodes (or nodes whose conditions depend on yourself rather than the enemy) from the respective trees apply to each of the subskills listed above? I know you mentioned on Discord that at least for Spirit Wolves they shouldn't apply because Spirit Wolves isn't considered a subskill.

Ok, one last question about subskills, do the rules you mentioned also apply to subskills inherited from other sources such as mastery trees? Such as Fire Aura, Shock Nova, Shaman's lightning procs, etc. Do they also affect ailments applied by the skill?

As always this does not pass to equipable skills which might be triggered, e.g. Lightning Blast triggered by disintegrate.

I presume this is because they use their own skill tree unless otherwise stated? And what about the meteors cast by, uhh, black hole (it's been a while since I played, I forget names)? They're an equipable skill, but they explicitly don't use the tree. Should they benefit from black hole's effects?

Hi Mike, thanks for the response, I did a lot of the testing for this video and couldn't figure out a pattern after testing Static Orb and Chakram (though I see how Chakram works).

Another thing that is often discussed in the community with subskills is conversion, especially with the new more consistent conversion in 0.9, the way subskills do or don't convert still seems very inconsistent. Is this still intended to be handled on a case by case basis, or should there be a rule for that as well?

So if I'm understanding you correctly..

If you proc Fireball by casting Flame Reave (with the Catalyst of Ash passive), Blade Weaver will increase the damage of Flame Reave AND the procced Fireball, but not of spells cast by the procced fireball? (like the flame burst spell that procs for every 5th fireball)

OR are you saying that when you proc Fireball through Flame Reave, only Flame Reave gets the damage boost and NOT fireball?
