yes

Yes, he recive bonus from lens and NOT from Int to spell damage. You can check it in solo game with cheats, open log and see how much dmg your first spell deal with and without dagon (8000 int), then check it with lens. So mage's items is your choice, there even special item for heros like Viper - Scythe of Decoy (crits+remove magic resistance+lightnings with hit).

Upd. logs is a lie. I check it, and when i with dagon attack log says i "deal 717 dmg with poison attack", in reality it deal 120. Lens is working fine. So int does not increase your spell damage, lens does.

so i can only stick with lens upgrades for poison dmgs and not int? when i got lens on R1 the dmg shown on creeps is only 120(level 1 poison), is this just a bug?

Yes, with last lens (+300% spell dmg) one hit with poison attack lvl 1: creep hp on round 2 (kobolds with magic resistance 0%) dropped by ~1000 ( 120 (base spell dmg)+360 (300% from lens) dmg every second for 2 seconds = 960 dmg.

the combat log is wrong about the damage numbers; they're before the filters

int doesn't amp anything, any spell dmg number in the log is wrong because the dev turn the ampilfy off(filter?)

no, only pure spell damage works (no int); but it is working 100%; the wrong numbers are because int scaling is still happening in theory but the game filters the excess damage, however th combat log shows the pre-filtered damage

i used mages and int i think gave a huge boost on magic dmg... i tried without lens and still got huge dmg from int alone.

so in viper's case only lens work on poison right?

lens works on everything viper has
