Missing Spell?

Contagion seems to be missing. I would fix it but I am concerned I might just accidentally break something.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheezewheel (talkcontribs)

only deals damage over time, which is the intended scope of the table at the moment. Whether that is the most intuitive and best way I don't know. --Illviljan (talk) 10:36, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Incorrect gems?

Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder are being incorrectly picked up by this table. I understand why and it seems like requiring the "Spell" tag would fix the issue, but I don't have the technical know-how to implement this. Help? Viperesque (talk) 04:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

The explosion/storm indeed does secondary damage but they still add spell damage to other spells, so it's not completely wrong. But since there are no other aura-styled skills maybe they should be removed. The multiple components makes it hard to fix it cleanly but adding [[Has gem tags::Spell]] or [[Has name::!Herald of Ice]] [[Has name::!Herald of Thunder]] does the trick for the currently available gems. --Illviljan (talk) 06:19, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Add average spell damage

I think it would be nice idea if someone added average spell damage at level 20 . I would do it, but i don't exactly understand those querrys.—Preceding unsigned comment added by T4c1 (talkcontribs) 22:10, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Average spell damage isn't really something that can be defined that easily. A lot of the spells have complicated mechanics that make a metric such as average damage misleading. For example can hit multiple times per cast, but that depends on AoE and monster size (and RNG), Blade Vortex has different damage depending on how many stacks you have up, etc. --OmegaK2 (t|c) 13:10, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
