Elemental damage

[GeneralTrue]

I looked up the damage about elemental damage is split between fire ice and electric, But what if i get an item with 10% fire and i use an skill that does elemental damage? How much will that boost up the elemental damage?

Afaik 33%, but i could be wrong. I still don't really understand how elemental damage works after quite a few hours in the game.

So like if i get 10% fire 10% electric 10% ice i get 30% elemental damage in total but if i just get 10% cold i just get 10% extra elemental damage. Ugh i am not very good with math.

[kekkuli]

No, 10% to all elements would equal 10% elemental damage. 10% to fire only for example would only increase the damage by 3,3%.

But i could be wrong, i just learned a while back that 100% to elemental damage increases all your elemental damage types by 100%, not by 33% which i thought was the case.

Elemental Damage is a combination of the three basic magical elements: Fire, Ice and Lightning. When it appears as flat damage, Elemental Damage will be dealt as 1/3 Fire + 1/3 Ice + 1/3 Lightning, divided equally.

Percent Elemental Damage on the other hand is a bonus to all three elements equal to the full value. It is not split evenly. This makes percent Elemental Damage a powerful way to increase several damage types at once.
