Elite Slayer

[Theiliya]

So there is a support rune that increases damage against Elites, but what are Elites? The yellow enemies or are even Bosses considered ''Elite''?
It has a big %dmg so i guess it's just rares/yellows but idk.

I don't think bosses count as elites, but guessing anything that isn't a single boss fight so yeah most likely the rares/yellows and the uniques are considered elites, the boss has its own stats if you search the AH

So i would use another rune besides elites for boss fights

Yeah, was thinking this myself. What a shame, was searching about what support rune would be best to upgrade to magic and this peaked my interest^^
Probably nice to keep for some nasty yellows as they are quite tanky imo..not sure wether or not I'm just doing zdps :D

Just watched a video about this! "Unique" enemies (the red symbol on the map) definitely count, as do map bosses.

I ASSUME yellow enemies count too but this video doesn't say.

If you are a mage, I highly recommend "Spell DMG Increase" upgrade to magic. It gives +20% damage.

I'm archer and took the %attack dmg one which gave me +30% dmg. All other green ones are just minor increases compared to that and Elite Slayer.
But thanks for the intel

Oh so map bosses count just not the end of act bosses?

Yes that's why I took Spell DMG Increase since the others seem minor. Seems Attack DMG is same idea there. I didn't check out Elite Slayer but I might have to upgrade it next, knowing what I know now.

Seems like it. I'll test by myself tomorrow as this would make life vs bosses a bit easier :)
