Some Onslaught Question(s)

  1. If I build up Onslaught charges, transform into a Wereraven then use Cold Snap - that counts as the next activated cooldown attack and I get the Onslaught charge bonus, right? (because transforming into a Werewolf or Wereraven has a cooldown, but isn’t an attack)

  2. But Ice Talons, the no-cooldown Wereraven basic attack doesn’t count, because it is an attack but doesn’t have a cooldown (like the recently modified Bloody / Blessed Whetstone skills), right?

  3. No % on critical attack trigger, and no % on attack trigger skill (say on an item or from Devotion) works because it is not “activated” by me, regardless if the skill has a cooldown?

  4. Callidor’s Tempest doesn’t work, because there is no cool down, but taking the Wrath of Agrivix Transmuter would work with Onslaught?

  5. The channeled skill Winds of Asterkarn doesn’t list a cooldown, so it doesn’t work with Onslaught?

  6. The channeled skill Albrecht’s Aether Ray does list a cooldown (skill recharge?) so it…does work with Onslaught? Just on the first casting speed tick? For as long as I have energy?

Thanks

  1. Correct

  2. Correct.

  3. Anything you do not manually cast will not consume stacks.

  4. Correct.

  5. Correct.

  6. AAR’s cooldown is just to prevent exploits, but otherwise AAR does not trigger Onslaught.

Another question I think should be asked is if it works with pets and buffs them up considering they have a cooldown, though highly unlikely considering it is separate? Thanks

Thanks for the clarification. Do temporary damaging auras like Blight count? That is the last unusual case I can think of.

Should we think of that boost the same as “total damage modified by” types of bonus ?
And is it additive or multiplicative with other “total damage” bonus ?

I would assume very strongly the general answer is no, both because that would be wildly powerful, and also summoning pets (player-scaled and non-) is not an attack.

The damage component of a Necromancer’s Reap Spirit likely works, but I would not expect the wraith it summons to be enhanced.
