reflect stuff

Reflected damage cannot itself be reflected, or otherwise trigger on-hit effects. Otherwise, there would be an infinite loop of reflection between your totems and monsters. So your totems getting their damage reflected to themselves will not trigger the reflection of Torchoak Steps.

Does anyone know if Yoke of Suffering work with Corpse Pact?

Question about ES recovery in the form of an example:

If i have a character that has 10% Life Regeneration in Total and Zealot's Oath. and i equip both an item that grants 10% Increased Life Recovery Rate and another item that grants 10% Energy Shield Recovery Rate, will the life recovery item work (giving me 11% regen), the energy shield recovery one(again 11% total), or will both work (resulting in 12,1% regen total)?

Your life recovery will not apply to your energy shield recovery. Only the increased energy shield recovery will apply to your regeneration. With Zealot's Oath, you no longer recover life from your life regeneration, so modifiers that don't affect life regeneration directly no longer apply to it.

Question: Does the Ghost Reaver passive work on maps with "No life leech" mod?

It does not.

Hello I am completely new but I like the game so far. I took my time to read trough wikis, a few guides and more or less I get the mechanics but I've got questions about the very base of the game and that's gem linking. As funny as it sounds I more or less get the other mechanics outside of map crafting but that's far away for me. ^^
1.Does the attack gem gotta be first in line and the support gems linked below or it can be for instance in the middle of link chain and 2 support gems relativly above it and 2 below it. Same question about trigger gems too like cast when damage taken support. Does it gotta be first and the next 1-3 spells/curses/buffs after it in the chain or it can be in the middle.
2.A bit of a moronic quest but if you get and item with 4 blue sockets for instance and they are chained 2 by 2 can you get 2 auras from each chain respectivly/2/3/4 auras from 1 item. Thank you.

I'm confused about the Lightpoacher's Spirit Burst skill.
Chest link: Cyclone - Cast on Crit - Ice Nova
Weapon - Cospri's Malice.
Weapon link: Frost Bolt - Ice Nova

In my understanding, the conditions of triggering Spirit burst is "Trigger this Spell when you Use a Skill while you have a Spirit Charge".

Assumptions: I have Spirit Charge.

While channeling Cyclone, why does Spirit Burst NOT proc when cyclone crits and casts Ice Nova or Frost Bolt via chest/weapon?

I tested it out and found that Spirit Burst only procs every time I cast Cyclone.

I guess my question is, is this the intended mechanic or is this a bug?

Thanks,
