I am under the impression that Spinning Blow DOES NOT benefit from the  Bonuses  to + DMG % to Area Of Effect skill nodes in the Krieg Support Doctrines Tree. 

 Spinning Blow

• Whirling Attack
• Fleshbane
• DoT
• Knockdown
• Knockback

In most classic RPG/ARPGs this weapon skill would be considered an AOE: Cones,Paths, and Whirling Attacks would generally get bonuses from any AOE passive bonus.

Is this correct am I missing something?
