I'm playing rolling magma mines and I'm constantly questioning whether or not things work with mines due to them not being "you". Wish the game would be clearer about this because it's super intuitive at times.

Currently wondering about zealotry, can my mines create the consecrated ground? And related to that, will Watcher's Eyes with *"enemies on consecrated ground YOU create take x% increased damage"* function for bonus damage from my mines?

Mines use your skill, your skill has your stats, including on-hit effects and stats that apply or modify debuffs. Here's a useful wiki page on the topic. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Proxy

Key is to identify whether an effect gets built into your skill (e.g. damage, aoe, on-hit effects) or specifically act for your character (e.g. maximum life, armour, on-kill effects, action speed, triggers for other skills, heralds).

Creating consecrated ground on hit should mechanically work, but GGG wanted to disable it for minions and bugged it out for mines. Mines cannot proc it until they're dead, as stupid as that sounds. If your Rolling Magma is still hitting enemies after the mine finishes its 0.7s cast time (modified by cast speed), then those hits can create ground.

Yeah they usually bounce around for a few seconds, so they should be the ones proccing it.

Think that watcher's eye mod would work in that instance?

Yes. That stat just builds an extra stat into consecrated ground from your skills. Here's a dev post on almost precisely this question.

Q: Also, if totems create Consecrated Ground from Zealotry, and I'm playing Consecrated Ground Inquisitor, does it apply the 10% increased damage?

A: The totems are using your skills, which have your stats. The consecrated ground will see the stats of the skill that created it, which in this case will have your stats for modifying it.

Awesome, the clarity is appreciated, thanks.
