How does Death from Above scale?

I was playing around with the buffed Death from Above skill from Tactician Mercenary on patch 0.3 and trying to figure out just how it scaled. Unlike other abilities in the game it does not show up on anything when inspecting the nodes on the passive tree. Additionally, removing and adding various passive nodes does not particularly seem to change anything about the expanded numbers on the skill.

Does Death from Above even interact with anything on the passive tree? Is it just hidden or not displaying correctly?

Currently my skill has a CD of 33.33sec despite the base being 40 and I have no CD reduction in my kit at all. (Edit: The CD reduction is caused by a support gem, I just forget it reduced CD)

I would appreciate any insight at all into how this skill interacts with the passive tree, weapons, anything as I am trying to play around with it since it feels like a lot better skill on this patch and I have been enjoying it.

Thanks!

It scales just like damage from any minion except that those artillery guys have no physical presence so they can't be affected by auras and similar effect.

Thanks for the response, I think that is about what I concluded with testing as well. It just sucks it cannot get any bonuses from CD rates or anything since the skill itself is purely coded onto the minions so it is their CD that matters, not yours. I just wish it scaled with some more passives closer to the Merc's start on the tree since he is kind of a ways out from any minion buff skills unfortunately.

I think the skill overall still needs a lot more development but it does at least do DMG now when it did nothing before.
