Consecrated Ground attribute scaling?

[stebobibo]

Consecrated ground from the Judgement skill. I’m wondering what attributes scale the consecrated ground part. The in-game tooltip (holding alt over toolbar) doesn’t tell you. I would guess that attunement scales consecrated ground, cause it scales healing effectiveness, and that only applies to the consecrated ground part. But I searched for consecrated ground in LastEpochTools and it shows no scaling tags. So I’m confused. Thanks for your help!

Fire, spell, DoT

It inherits the 4% attribute damage modifiers from the proccing skill rather than having an attribute tag (strength, attunement, etc) per se.

[stebobibo]

So you’re saying both strength and attunement will buff its damage, right?

[AbombDaChamp]

Strength is only for the hit damage.

Attunement is for the consecrated ground aura damage. Also more mana which is also more damage.

Here is my build guide from last season my Auradin was doing 8mil tick damage and just melted everything.

Auradin/RF The complete build. 8mil+ tick damage

Hello everyone my Auradin build is about ready where I can discuss it. I’ve seen many people say they love Consecrated aura but it’s slow at bosses. So I set out to prove that wrong! It has incredible damage scaling and currently can kill T4 Julra in 3 secs and reg Abby in 25 secs. On the boss target dummy doing 8.2mil tick damage and with a tick rate of 2.75 times per second you melt the target dummy and bosses. Ontop of that while doing 1,000c you will instantly 1 shot anything that dares…

Thanks for the straight answer, and your guide!

This is where composite skills & their tage get complicated. Tempest Strike is a good example, the melee & str tags only apply to the melee hit & then the spell, & attunement tags only apply to the tempests while the phys/cold/lightning apply to the relevant element hit & tempest.

Generally when there’s a skill with a proc, that skill inherits any relevant % damage modifiers including the 4% per attribute. So if Smite procs a fissure, the fissure will inherit any relevant (general damage, spell, fire, DoT, area) damage modifiers that Smite gets.

Wish they would clarify these things in-game. Was @AbombDaChamp right in that Consecrated Ground only scales off Attunement?

Here you’re just talking about skills that trigger other “equipable skills” right? So this doesn’t apply to Consecrated Ground.

Nope. Skills that trigger things that can go on your skill bar (ie, other skills) generally don’t inherit anything from the proccing skill unless explicitly specified, which is relatively rare. Javelin’s Righteous Descend node is an example of this as it gives Smite additional flat crit chance, but Smite proc’d by Righteous Decree in Judgement doesn’t inherit anything from Judgement.

Probably yes, but I’ve not tested it, since Consecrated Ground doesn’t get the attunement tag, it would inherit the 4% increased damage per attunement that Judgement gets, so it’s possible that it could inherit the 4% increased damage per str unless that’s been coded as melee damage (unlikely).
