Hello all,

Just wondering if the cold damage part of Deathgaze is affected by spell damage % i.e. is the cold damage added to the skill or missile? Thx.

No, just - res increases the cold damage of deathgaze. The character screen would show a damage increase, but it's lying... for that reason we named character screen LCS (lying character screen)

Spell damage increases damage of elemental skills on melee. And spells. But conversion skills like deathgaze their missils don't get an increase from spell damage.

My understanding is that with certain vanilla skills (e.g. Fire Arrow), although the conversion part does not get boosted by skill damage % (spell damage % in Median), the added fire damage does. Since Deathgaze now has added cold damage, I was wondering if that part of the skill is affected? AFAIK, if the damage is added to the skill rather than its missiles, it should receive the bonus.

Weapon damage skills in median XL do not get % spell damage, which is why it's renamed to spell damage.

There are exceedingly few exceptions to this, and they're Hyena Strike, Lightning Fury, Angel of Death, Whirlwind/Windform, and anything where an orange text explicitly allows it (e.g.
Disturbance

Disturbance
Amazon Helms

'OrtSilYst'
Runeword Level: 110
Hammer of Zerae: Lightning Spell Damage Applies To Added Lightning Damage At 50% Efficiency
+(2 to 3) to Amazon Skill Levels
20% Block Speed
Adds 3-5 Damage
Adds 7-15 Damage
+(141 to 171)% Enhanced Defense
(15 to 20)% to Dexterity
+(200 to 300) to Vitality
Maximum Lightning Resist +2%
Lightning Resist +25%
+(100 to 150) Life after each Kill
(15 to 20)% Magic Find
).

Perfect, thank you.
