Questions About Focus Effects...

[oddimity]

my main Xaol is a 65 necromancer... i should know this by now... but anyhow...
1)are any of my spells other than "normal" heal spells effected by Heal Increment? like my healing dots? (pet/group/self heal dots)
2)are DoTs effected by duration Increment? or is it pointless for me? is it good for anything for necros if not...
3)i read in forums Bane Enhancement cant be mixed with Damage Increment (Undead DD in my case) is this true? and also... on the same page... would either damage increment or Affliction increment help the DD part of a DoT that has an initial DD damage? (Caress of Sivyana)

1)Yes
2)Duration increment affects the length of Buff spells
3)No they are seperate lines that do two different things as far as I know Dmg Increment will affect the nuke part of a dot and affliction will help the dot part of the spell

Bane Enhancement affects your undead DDs, Damage Increment affects your non-undead DDs (even when cast on undead).

Also what ryutakin said.

No, your pet duration life taps are only effected by Affliction Enhancement, Healing Increment will only effect your Mend Bones etc spells.

2)are DoTs effected by duration Increment? or is it pointless for me? is it good for anything for necros if not...

It's not useful for dots (It has no effect on them!), but its nice for your self buffs, lich, pet haste, etc. Nothing killer, just something to put on if you don't want to cast buffs as often.

You are correct in that Damage increment won't help Bane Spells, DoTs with a DD component work like so: The DD part is increased according to your Damage Increment mod, and your DoT portion is increased according to your Affliction Enhancement mod.
