mana and mana regen has nothing to do with damage except with mana sorc

[HurtSmash404]

For the Amazon's Fire Elemental on death skill Fire Cannonade, is there any way to improve it's damage other than hard points, more mana and more mana regeneration?

Doesn't it carry fire spell damage and fire pierce synergy to your actual character? Or maybe I saw that in the upcoming patch note announcement?

It does?

If it is on death proc, why would you want mana?

I tested this heavily (atleast for me) recently, and what it appears is that the fire pierce from the skill does apply, but nothing else. Not even SOV buff, bloodlust, etc. I think it has to do with the fact that they "die" first (buffs go away), then the spell procs. Rather than the proc happening then death.


Edit: cast speed (and yes, mana to support) goes a long way. Specially because the proc occurs when replacing summons. It's not uncommon to have 6 or 7 cannonades going at once.

Yep, came to that conclusion too.

How about minion damage?

Nopers.

I actually had a ton of fun playing this build, but with literally zero options for damage scaling, it pitters out at the end of NM. Hope to see a change on this in the future. Something like party/aura buffs apply, and maybe minion damage applies at 50% effectiveness.

I misremembered. First patch of sigma notes say you can get spell damage and pierce per hard point in Fire Elemental.

That's a shame, because with a Lightning Amazon I used this strat to kill both Bartuc and Inarius.

Do warp strikes like harbinger or hades gate count as melee hits? Do they proc LoA and MoA?
