Let's say Nephalem Spirit adds 1000 fire damage, and I have +100% minion damage, that 1000 fire does not become 2000 fire damage, does it? Does it get added after the multiplier? Thank you.

doesn't interact at all, usually. the minion damage stat is given to them as %weapon physical damage, so it only affects physical damage or anything built into the minion that scales with it (like necro's Abyss Knight magic damage)

Can someone explain how assassins Wychwind works? This skill does almost no damage, APF20 with one point in the skill does more damage than 10 casts of Wychwind. Often bosses or mobs run right across the Wychwind field without taking any damage at all. And this skill costs a lot of mana, while APF20 costs almost nothing. At the same time, the patch notes say "Reduced number of hits per cast by ~40% The skill remains the best "stacked damage" ability in the game". A year or so ago, before the skill was nerfed, it did no damage. Now it has been cut even more. Maybe there is some trick to using it? If I'm not mistaken, a long time ago this skill was different, there was one big funnel and it worked great. But now I don't understand what the purpose of this skill is and how to get "the best "stacked damage" in the game"

it hits a bajillion times for very small damage with no ND, so it does basically 0 damage to anything walking through it, but omgwtfbbq damage to stationary bosses like riftwalker 3 or deimoss
