Aura of Decay not considered to be a spell

[Synx1]

Hello,

I’m playing a poison Lich build using the new Rotmind unique. It gives +1 level to DoT spells, but doesn’t give a level to Aura of Decay.

I dont know if this is a bug or intended (since Aura of Decay doesn’t have the spell tag), but it feels a bit odd that the Unique focused on Poisons from Dot spells don’t increase the level of the only skill that is a poison dot spell by default.

This is intentional. Thanks for the report.

Damn, ye I just got Rotmind aswell and noticed my poison damage in the character stats went up from like 202 > 206, I thought this item would increase the BASE damage from 28 and add the damage roll from rotmind… so this item is utter trash and basically only gives you the “less damage over time taken”

while it might be intentional for AoD to not have the spell tag (to avoid spell scaling for poison I guess), I think the unique fit almost everything an AoD build needs (so it’s a real shame)
