Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill

Auras from your Skills grant 3% increased Attack and Cast
Speed to you and Allies
You and nearby Allies have +30% to Elemental Resistances
You and nearby Allies deal 30% increased Damage [1]

Commander of Darkness is a Notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Necromancer that grants increased attack speed and cast speed to the user and nearby allies for each non-curse auras cast by user. It also grants increased damage and elemental resistance to you and your allies if they are being affected by your aura.

Mechanics

Each Aura the player has active grants 3% Attack and Cast Speed per aura to the player and Allies. Despite Commander of Darkness's description stating simply "Auras," only non-curse auras will work, as curse aura is affecting enemies but not the player character.

The Elemental Resistance and Increased Damage granted by Commander of Darkness is applied only once, and is not classified as an aura (from active skill), so it cannot be further enhanced.

The speed effects of Commander of Darkness are classified like an aura and are added onto the effects of whatever non-curse auras the player has cast. Thus, the effects that are granted can be further enhanced by the Necromancer's own Aura Effect stat, with the resulting effect always being rounded down to the nearest integer.

For example, a Necromancer with six auras active and 50% Increased Aura Effect will grant 4% Attack and Cast Speed per aura (not 4.5%), granting a total of 24% Increased Attack and Cast Speed. Note the speed is not 27%, as one might initially expect; this is the result of the rounding down per aura. The following table lists several breakpoints in increased Aura Effect for increased speed.
