Maw of Mischief Minion Explosion and Assassin's Mystical Infusion
|
It seems like Assassin's mystical infusion ascendancy node applies the crit chance to channeling part of the skill but not the minion explosion. This doesn't make sense because the channeling part doesn't even do damage so it should be the hit part that is getting the bonus however it doesn't seem to work like that.
Also it looks like the rune of the angler in pob accurately shows that the minion explosion has 100% base crit and I don't know why that wording works but the assassin node doesn't. The only thing I can think of is that the death wish skill specifies "The explosion of the minion is not affected by modifiers to spell damage, and cannot be reflected." but that should only be for spell damage and not spell critical strike chance. If anyone knows if I'm missing something that would be appreciated. Last bumped on Nov 29, 2025, 9:33:00 PM

So you are saying the channeling skill is a spell but the minion explosion itself is not a spell but deals spell damage?
Why would everything about this skill be spell related except for the explosion itself. |
|

No, minion explosion doesn't deal spell damage. This skill consists of two parts: spell fire damage (blue) and minion explosion (red).
|

Ok so the on release of the channeling, the skill has the spell fire damage part (blue) which which does scale with spell damage (so it should crit with the assassin node?) and then the minion explosion damage (red) which is entirely separate.
I'm assuming in this case that the explosion is similar to other explode mods like oriath's end which can only scale off of generic/global modifiers then? |

"Yes. "Minion explosion from Death Wish scales with minion life, number of affected minions and minion damage. |
|
|
Well yes but if I wanted to crit with the minion explosion I would have to scale global crit chance right?
