I'm a bit puzzled regarding Puritan skills... do they work at all?

Hater, Warp Thorn, Holy Rage, Daemonic Lore, and even the 3 top tiers which we shouldn't be able to buy for now (Holy Shield, Holy Conclave and Monodominant Commandments) seem to have ZERO effect in game.

For example, I didn't notice any increase in damage output vs. daemons (Daemonic Lore), nor any reflection of warp damage (Warp Thorn), and so on. They seem to do absolutely NOTHING, which is a massive letdown after investing time and effort to unlock the skilltree with moral choices.

Please fix them, they would really, really add to the game...
