Heft support?

32

Heft support seems to have no effect on Bone Cage and Bone Storm based on the tooltip and I don't understand why. Tag says:
'Supports Skills which deal damage, increasing the maximum physical damage of their hits'

Why would this have no effect on physical spells?

Due to some bug, it's affecting the base weapon damage before conversion. 

That's why it's currently useless on spells and strong on attacks with 100% phys > ele conversion, which shouldn't even be affected.

Yeah, I was looking at that yesterday as well. Heft was even suggested support gem for Bone Storm, but damage does not change when applied. Considered casting (or what is the name) works.

Is there a distinction between skills and spells?

Are you looking at the phys damage from the debuff or the phys damage from the hit?

It also raises the max hit for attacks by 60% instead of 30% atm, and works on converted damage. That support is bugged to hell and will get fixed soon.

Also does literally nothing on any other non-weapon skill. So shield wall, shield charge, and magma barrier get 0 benefits from it even though they should.

It does work on DD though.
