Scorching Ray: Am I Out of My Mind? (Unintended Dmg Boost?)

---

From the Wiki article on Scorching Ray:

---

Since added damage to spells from Support Gems doesn't impact Scorching Ray's damage, I expected added damage to spells from equipment also to be rendered moot. However, this is not so:

1. Observe what happens when added damage to spells from "Thousand Ribbons" Simple Robe is applied...


2. Likewise, when added damage to spells from a Hypnotic Eye Jewel is applied, you'd think you'd expect there not to be a damage change....


Am I out of my mind, is Tooltip wrong, or is this just incongruous?

Tooltip is wrong for lots of things, including this.

If you open up the character sheet and select SR, does the DPS shown there change?

That is hit damage, it's irrelevant, SR doesn't hit.

the tooltip dps doesnt work for all the dmg over time skills.
if you want to know how much dmg your dot does you have to read the number in the skill description.

...Character Sheet dmg info...

OK, I know Sco'Ray doesn't hit... but when you socket an Added [Damage Type] Support gem, neither the tooltip nor the character sheet changes. But with added damage here, it does change it.

Incongruity!

The tooltip is being silly, it seems to think that SR is a hitting skill not a DoT skill.

Note that in all 4 screenshots the skill's damage as shown by the green text does not change. Pretty sure if you were to equip an item with "increased fire damage" or similar on it, that would change.

Yeah, I guess that's all it is.

Green text? Where.
