I always thought this only buffs physical damage but reduced all incoming damage, is this the case or does it buff all elemental damage you do too?

The bug has certainly made incantation runs a lot more challenging in pve. Hope it’s fixed soon. Not as worried about my pvp characters because I’d only buff time permitted anyway. Mid game range is feeling the pain though. Looks like I’m doing some melee/infusion runs for now.

Is it a bug or a nerf that it doesn't buff sorceries anymore?

And you know it's a bug because? I know this page states it's a bug but I'm still not sure.

@astrix it's not in the Patch Notes, so I guess that's why everyone assumes it's not intended

1. because the spell buff icon still shows below your stamina bar
2. because the patch notes don't mention this. You'd think they would mention such a crucial change to the most popular buffs in the game, considering they mention much smaller changes on a regular basis.

I'll accept the very slim possibility that it is an intended change and they both a. forgot to document it AND b. forgot to disable the 'buff icon', but that's very unlikely given how on-point the patch notes usually are.
It is most likely an unintended side-effect of the changes to certain buff interactions, such as Bloodflame Blade and Fire's Deadly Sin, and the other issue where Golden Vow reduced damage done in certain cases.

What buff icon hirotoro? The icon still shows up as your physical damage is still boosted by it.

Ahh elden ring.... After farming everything for 30+ hours to get the buffs for a Dragon cult build you give me this bug. This is a "But hole required" moment for me.

This is the BEST way to bring it to their attention.

As of patch 1.09 there is a new bug with golden vow, howl of shabriri and flame grant me strenght that makes it so the damage boost isn't applied to neither sorceries nor incantations even though the spell buff icon is still visible under the stamina bar. I'm writing this in hope that it will be hotfixed soon.

It seems that with patch 1.09 buffs like Golden Vow no longer effect spell damage of incantations. I've tested Black Flame and Flame Sling with multiple damage increasing buffs such as: Golden Vow (Ash/Spell), Sacred Order, Shared Order and Last Rites. There was no change in damage.

It doesn't work on spells right now after the newest patch?
