Does Spell Damage Go Towards Chaos Dmg
That is to say, do elemental damage nodes effect chaos damage, such as from poison arrow? Thanks! IGN: Royal_Princess, Princess_of_Wraeclast, Vaal_Princess, Diamond_Princess | Posted by ac429 on Jun 29, 2012, 8:23:45 PM |
No, only fire, cold, and lightning are elemental. | Posted by WhiteBoy on Jun 29, 2012, 8:25:12 PM |
Alrighty, thanks! IGN: Royal_Princess, Princess_of_Wraeclast, Vaal_Princess, Diamond_Princess | Posted by ac429 on Jun 29, 2012, 9:21:04 PM |
I don't know why.. But I thought a diamond member would know something like this? Just personally, I wouldn't spend 1k on a game until I am well and truly familiar with the game and its community, and that I would be dedicated to the game.

Above poster is correct that it is not elemental damage, but I believe spell damage % nodes affect chaos damage. At least in the case of added chaos damage support gem. So you can increase it.

It IS very confusing: * It is listed as part of elemental resistances on the marauder side (2x +3% nodes), as if it was a fourth resistance type. * It is called 'poison' in the skill Poison Arrow, even though people say 'it's not like poison'. But then people in chat say it's 'not like poison' because 'it bypasses energy shield'. So? Couldn't poison also bypass energy shield? What game are they referring to in those assumptions?

I knew, but its not like I know everything. For instance I suck at crafting, but then again how do I know I suck at crafting? Its completely random. | Posted by Metronomy on Jun 30, 2012, 3:06:00 PM |

I think a lot of the confusion, and people calling it poison, is also a carry over from Diablo 2. There, it was actually called poi..I'm gonna shut up, because most people here have played D2, and know what I'm talking about. =P That was also DOT.

I think I was just hearing it does not go towards sdi cap. #3 BigEv, Aug 25, 2013. Cazador Grand Inquisitor. Stratics Veteran. Dmg was 30-32. Same scenario with 30 sdi on suit, dmg was 32-35. Looks like you do need 30 sdi on suit. Too bad that 10% you get from inscription doesn't count in pvp. But spell damage depends on what spell you. At level 60 I used a dragonbone Greatsword dealing around 600 damage, enchanted it with chaos and lifesteal (over 100% destruction spell-cost reduction so I have infinite charges). I had a little less then 600 hp (and 200 stamina) and also 100% spell-absorb, which proved to be pretty handy.
Put the cap inside of a baggie or plastic container along with your hygrometer, and seal the bag. Digital hygrometer guitar.

So what exactly is the difference If using let's say a fire skill and got 1 item of either 10% spell or elemental increase the damage increase would be the same of either of them right?? And playing as a Witch is your normal attack considered to be a 'Spell' attack with a wand or elemental? | Posted by SAKRAY on Apr 5, 2012, 9:24:05 PM |
10% spell damage or elemental damage will do the same on a fire spell. But 10% spell damage will increase chaos damage, unlike elemental damage. Do you mean basic attack with wand? No, it isn't spell damage. But if the wand deals elemental damage, %increased elemental damage will work on it.

Ah oke thanks for the quick awnser and chaos damage is a special kind of damage or? Also to increase wand damage I have to get STR/Pysical boosts? edit: Also if your weapon has like 6 cold damage does elemental increase only increase the 6 cold damage portial of the basic atk?

Strength does not increase the physical damage of ranged weapons unless you get the keystone passive that allows it to do so, or support your attack skill with it. Increased spell damage will increase the damage of all of your spells, including chaos spells as was stated. If you a weapon with elemental damage attached to it, increased elemental damage will only increase the elemental portion, not the physical portion of your attack. However, you can get decent elemental levels on your attacks by utilizing elemental hit, lightning strike, lightning arrow, fire arrow, molten strike, or glacial hammer. These all add or convert a large amount of elemental damage to your attacks, and increased elemental damage will add to all of them (but spell damage will NOT because they are attacks and not spells).

' yes, chaos damage isn't reduced by elemental resist or armor, and it bypass energy shield. Some enemies have chaos resist though, but it just reduces the damage a bit, you can still kill them. ' yes, if you get the %increase ele damage from a passive, it will increase the 6 cold damage on your weapon.

I know this thread is old but if someone sees it I would be glad to get an answer. so if i understand this correctly. Elemental DMG boost all forms of attacks/spells that have some sort of element in it. And spell DMG only increeses the dmg of actual SPELLS. I have done a Witch where i go heavy into lightning DMG (dont know if it is good late game or not but i wanna try it). So i can both get spell dmg and elemental dmg to boost the damage of my lightning spells such as spark and lightning trap for exampel? | Posted by on Nov 9, 2013, 2:18:35 PM |
Both spell dmg and elemental dmg will boost the damage of your lightning spells. | Posted by sydgame on Nov 10, 2013, 2:10:09 AM |
I have a witch doing cold damage. I was told that x% increased elemental damage passives not only increases the cold damage but also increases chill and freeze damage so is better bang for buck than x% increased spell damage passives. Using Freezing Pulse, Ice Nova and Ice Spear. Is this right? Thanks in advance. ~DemiDemon~ Playing almost every day since Beta version 0.9.1 in 2011.

' In short, no. 'Chill and freeze damage' doesn't exist. Chill and freeze duration is based on the damage dealt by the hit that triggered them. Anything that increases the damage of the original hit increases the duration of chill/freeze. No extra damage is dealt to a monster just because you chilled or froze it. Whoever told you that is getting chill/freeze mechanics mixed up with ignite/burn mechanics. You're welcome to make a new thread for this kind of thing instead of bumping really, really old ones.

'Thanks for the answer. Yeah, he had a fire witch and I assumed that what applied to one element would naturally apply to another - my bad. 'Again, my bad. After looking over the site for 20 mins I resorted to Googling the term 'elemental damage vs spell damage' and this was the only result close to what I wanted to know. When it didn't give me quite the answer I needed I thought it better to post in a similar thread rather than start another and end up with even more thousands of threads that are next-to-impossible to search through.
