Aria's damage

[JackFrost]

<div>Will increasing my int cause Aria to do more damage when proc'ed by another group member or is it based on the int of the person who proc'ed it?</div>

<div></div>It's your spell... it's based on your intelligence.  So, get it up there!  :smileyhappy:

<div></div><div></div><p>I think Sean did answer the question. The damage of the proc is determined by the buff caster's intelligence, not the buff receiver's. The troubador's intelligence determines the damage.</p><p>Message Edited by Asheben on <span class="date_text">01-18-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:52 PM</span></p>

This isn't entirely true. Just because it's your buff, doesn't mean your INT decides the damage. In reality, it is the person who is "casting" it, who determines how much damage it does. That being, when you cast it, it shows up as doing so much damage, but in reality it checks everytime it casts to determine damage output. Dynamism, the Illusionist equivalent buff, works this way. Upping your INT will only help your damage from aria's. Try this out one time. Cap your INT, cast aria's. Drop all your gear, examine Aria, you'll see it still says the original damage with your capped INT. However, now go and cast on a mob, and don't use any mental debuffs on it. And you will notice that the damage from dissonant note is much lower than it showed when you examined it.
