" Based on this post from Mark: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/634vc5/comment/dfsifzt/ I would say a Hex is an "active skill type" (or property), just like Fire Damage. Modifiers that grant "increased Fire Damage" work differently to the ones below: 1. increased Cast Speed with Fire Skills 2. # to Level of Socketed Fire Gems 3. # to Level of all Fire Spell Skill Gems Tags like "Fire" allow skills to be grouped and targeted by modifiers like the three above; that is the technical purpose of tags. #1 targets all Fire Skills, including those granted by items, but not Support Gems (nor "Supported by..." modifiers on items). #2 targets all socketed Fire Gems, including Support Gems. #3 targets all Fire Skills from Gems that are also Spells (i.e. not Attacks). Whether a Skill benefits from "increased Fire Damage" is not dependent on whether the Fire tag is present, but whether the active skill type "Fire Damage" is associated with it (under the hood). Anything that inflicts Cold, Fire or Lightning damage is most certainly associated with the Elemental active skill type (considering the numerous modifiers targeting Elemental damage), but there is no equivalent Elemental tag. Bane is a Skill with the Hex tag, so it benefits from modifiers like "increased Area of Effect of Hex Skills". The Area of Effect referenced in this modifier relates to the active skill type, and has nothing to do the AoE tag. (The AoE tag allows Bane to be targeted by "# to Level of Socketed AoE Gems".) Every Hex is a Curse and the skill descriptions describe their effects. - Cursed enemies have less action speed - Cursed enemies take increased physical damage - Cursed enemies have -x% resistance(s) Bane itself does not inflict any type of Curse, so there is no reason for its Chaos DoT, which is not a Curse and therefore not a Hex, to benefit from Hexes having infinite duration. Under the hood, Bane's Chaos DoT is not associated with the Curse or Hex active skill types. Last edited by mugenjie#5435 on Nov 29, 2022, 4:57:22 PM

" Yeah, this is where my thought process went after reading Mark's post as well. It's a HORRIFYING system they have in place, but I still made sense of it. But given the insane mess Mark presented us with about skill systems under the hood, plus the MANY MORE messes we've seen with their coding for years (not to mention the latest one with Vulnerability), this is why I said I'll take that at face value and still test it out when the time comes. Honestly, at this point it even isn't a "this either works or it doesn't", because the whole spaghetti beneath the scenes is crumbling. Very high chance it's a matter of "this works, but should it?" In any case, thanks for the commitment mate. |

So are you guys actually gonna add a reason to self cast curse or are you just out to waste player's time on this AGAIN.
You nerf autoapplication of curses you don't make self cast more viable, you make people consider scaling off something else entirely that isn't getting nerfed. i.e. 1. Auto curse 1. Other Scaling 2. Other Scaling 2. Self cast curse 3. Self cast curse 3. Auto curse. You're not making self cast curse viable, you're making auto curse worse, that's it. |

" Right? The only semi-fun curse skill/build and GGG did their normal thing of making it more garbage. |
