Yes, that's what I meant. I'm not expecting that to be the case, but would be fun. Especially for build that don't give a shit about the damage of Bane since I'm not expecting that to be competitive.
As I said in last post, curse tag doesn't mean it's a curse skill. It's like how Dominating Blow isn't a minion skill, even though it has a minion tag, or how you can give skill/tag properties with supports for those shenanigans with arcane surge and less duration or however it works. The presentation of the skill says it will be a curse skill type however so it might be considered as a full curse skill but as I explained if that's the case I only expect it to trigger curses when you initially cast it, rather than permanently, which would render it pointless other than having a permanent aoe dot. Which mind you, if it snapshots the values based on curses, you could use the worm flask, cast Bane with 5linked curses to snapshot the full damage value then change the flask out and now you have another cool damage aura to stack with Death Oath's and do the whole walk to kill build(probably would need Bane+Blasphemy in Death Oath so it doesn't turn off though, wasting some sockets).
From what I understand, this is a large nerf across the board for both curses, Enfeeble especially since it also gets less accuracy penalty as a direct nerf. But both curses will do vastly reduced effects on EVERY rare and unique, rather than just the ones tagged for it(which were only act/map bosses and shaper/elder based on the wiki). That means uniques that weren't tagged like various league specific unique mobs(like invasion mobs in various areas, exiles, architects and so on) are now getting a massive curse reduction effect, and all rares are also getting one. The plus side is curses now work slightly better against old uniques that were tagged(60% on act/map bosses to new 50%) and much better against shaper/elder(80% to 50%).
It doesn't get the minion damage increase on its own damage. Or maybe it does now haven't played it since they reworked it, but it used to only affect the minions not the melee hit. It has a minion tag, but isn't a minion skill. It summons minions that are the "minion skill". Tags aren't specifically the same as the skill being a certain type.
Depends how you would play it. Reduction to cast speed likely comes with reduction to base damage and damage effectiveness. So, skill using arc to bypass cast time will see some lower damage, but not much. The chaining reduction could be big too.
You can sell it to someone who doesn't care about reflect though, assuming it isn't a complete piece of shit with the other mods(and even then). Just put it in a stash on the side and once you have a bunch of them, spend 15mins selling them. High tier maps tend to sell near instantly anyway.
Yep!
