Only speed penalties are the movement speed penalties that armor and shields (and occasionally unique items) give and they are now documented in the item data armor page. Generally speaking, Strength Armor will slow you down more than INT and DEX based armor will, but the actual numbers are in the link.

Yes power charge works for attacks and spells you cast.

I have two questions:

1) since the last patch there has been a diffrence between passive skills that effect area skills and aura's. Does this mean that "Blast Radius" no longer has an effect over aura's?


2) Does the skill Firestorm benefit from skills that increase area of effect like "blast Radius"? and if so in which way. Does the same damage get spread out over a larger area thus weakening the damage per square inch?

How does Faster cast rate work with firestorm? it seems like firestorm has a castlock. Will this get shortened with faster cast rates?

answer to both numbered questions is: yes normal AoE boosts work on auras, and firestorm gets both a spread increase and the burst size increase (tested with a legacy that had +60% AoE). so as far as firestorm goes, it's a mixed review saddly/gladdly.

what do you mean by castlock though? a delay/freeze after the casting? (aftercast) if so then answer is yes based on other skills with an awkward delay or startup.
