Herald of Ice with AoE Support Gem Modifiers is bugged!

Hello GGG,

Herald of Ice base explosion radius is 1.6 meters.
With +20 quality of Herald of Ice, explosion radius becomes 2 meters.(+0.4m)

After inserting "Magnified Effect" support gem which says: "Supported skills have 30% MORE area of effect", explosion radius becomes 2.2 meters.
Even if supported gem is multiplied by base 1.6 radius, 1.6 * 1.3 = 2.08 and plus 0.4 from +20 quality of Herald is 2.08 + 0.4 = 2.48, NOT 2.2 as now.


+20 quality Herald of Ice has 2 meters explosion radius. So, by definition of "Magnified Effect" support gem, +30% more AoE means:
2 * 1.3 = 2.6 meters, NOT 2.2 as now.

The same issue is with "Reach" support gem which provides +35% more AoE.

GGG please check this issue, current calculation of Herald of Ice and AoE modifiers is bugged.

Thanks in advance.

Some support gem is bricked now, and can not work properly. Just like my favarious "Fresh CLip" - it not adding damaged to the DPS

The game calculates it correctly, and you apply area modifiers to the radius.

Hi,

So, +20 Herald of Ice explosion radius is 2 meters and area would be pi*r^2, that is pi*4 = 12.566 .
Magnified Effect increases "area" NOT "radius" you meant that I suppose, so
12.566 * 1.3 = 16.336 , so with Magnified Effect area becomes 16.336 and radius becomes:
r = sqrt(Area/pi) = sqrt(16.336/pi) = 2.28 rounded to 2.2
That is, game is working correctly, it is just wording problem for new gamers.

Thanks.
