Being triggered in a certain way does not change what type of skill something is. Nothing becomes a Brand skill due to being triggered this way, so modifiers which specifically apply to Brand Skills will apply to the Arcanist Brand itself (if applicable), but not to non-brand skills it triggers.

However modifiers specifically to Damge, Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Multiplier of Brand Skills, have all been changed to instead affect "Brand Damage" or "Brand Critical Strikes", which are new keywords defined as Damage/Critical Strike Chance of Brand Skills or any skills triggered by Brands. There will be reminder text on sources of those stats explaining that definition.

So for the damage and crit chance/multipler stats specifically, those have been changed to something which can apply to spells triggered by Arcanist Brand. Any other modifiers which still refer to Brand Skills will continue to only affect Brand Skills.

Brands are extremely dissimilar to totems, it's certainly not safe to assume any mechanical things will work the same way between the two.

Arcanist Brand has a modifier that explicitly overrides where the triggered spells are considered to originate. This works very similar to Astral Projector, but is not limited to affecting Nova spells.

Note that this is only changing the location the spells are considered to originate from. That has no effect on spells doing things to the caster, only doing things at or from the caster's location.

So e.g. Triggering Blood Rage with the Brand will still add a buff to you, Flame Dash will still teleport you, Dark Pact will still sacrifice your life.

Brands and mines are entirely different.

Mines are an entirely different entity from you, that are allowed to use one of your skills. They are the thing which is using that skill. They aren't given any of your other skills to use or trigger.

Brands are just the effect of one of your spells - just like a fireball or orb of storms. They aren't a separate object and can't have or use skills of their own. Having your brand trigger another skill is not inherently different from any other case where one skill you've used triggers another, such as cast on crit or cast while channelling.

But it should stack 10 blade vortex attached to the player, since the spell cast blades that orbit "into you", and arcanist brand trigger spells without modifying the spell properties.

​This is correct. The brand is triggering your Blade Vortex spell, which inherently adds blades to you.

Many do but the ones that don't say which ones they do apply to and don't mention the others.

We had to fudge it for the video. Pay no mind in the meantime.

It should end on June 15 at 3pm PDT

I'll ask the team if we can resolve this to work similarly to weapon effects.

I don't think the cache is explicitly guarded be extra/special monsters.

I still remember her so clearly from Shortland Street! I used to watch it every day back then.

Otherwise you could endlessly access your stash in maps without using your portals which would mess with the game's balance.

Yes, Arc has received a visual update.

This is good feedback. A few things to note: You'll always be able to see what craft is becoming available as you'll see that on seed before you plant and then on the plants as they're growing. You'll be able to access your stash from the garden for the purpose of putting things into the crafting window (you can't just take items in and out of it from your inventory). You'll also be able to access your garden from your hideout so you don't need to be in a map in order to access it.

Archmage Support can't apply to triggered skills, so can't apply to spells triggered by Arcanist Brand.

Yes, Arcanist Brand linked to multiple spells would result in them triggering in a sequence.

It should do.

You can absolutely control how many monsters you Harvest at any one time so you can choose to push your build as far as you'd like.

Ah, sorry for being unclear. I understood the question just don't have the answer right now.
