Loongscale Armor Set and Golden Loong Staff

[ganjin]

Can someone tell me if the Loongscale Armor Set (increases lightning damage) enhances the lightning attack of the Golden Loong Staff (summoning the Loong that strikes with lightning)? Or does this armor only enhance spirits and the Dark Thunder transformation?
There is also the Venomous Sting Insect Armor, which increases the damage of the poison attack. In my opinion, there are no staffs with such attacks at all. Maybe it also means poison damage only for some spirits and the Violet Hail transformation?

Maybe someone knows?

Loongscale armour set does enhance the lightning damage of the Golden Loong staff, the kang Jin Staff and the Storm Flash Loong Staff.

As for poison... the Scorpion spirit is another good option... The spider celestial staff will deal poison if you are poisoned with focus charge attack but the best option by far is the venomous arm guards which deal poison on crit.

There is Centipede staff which u can combine with Spirits imo(Guanmou), scorpion.
Ive always thought the increase dmg goes with everything.

Im trying Loong Staff with Pilgrim set, self inflicted Storm dmg is neglible in NG+ even without the correct armor set.
Im thinking as the Loong staff charges up only with charging the Focus and not so much gathering, Im gonna just quickly run around with Pilgrim set charging Smash Stance.
Of perfect dodge would also leave the charged focus points saved up but its more random.
For end boss it should work perfectly, will see soon...

oh and I think you mean the centipede armour - not the insect armour. The insect armour is pointless IMO as it really only enhances meds slightly.

That is, the damage of the Golden Loong Staff is increased due to the armor. Good. I turned on the damage numbers in the settings and did not notice much of a difference. Perhaps due to the damage range and triggered crits. I need to pump up Loongscale armor to the legendary level and check again. Let's see.

As for the poison, I did the same: took spider celestial staff and Deathstinger (soak, which poisons). And I also tried to crit with venomous arm guards. But I didn't really like being in a poisoned state all the time.

No, that's right - the insect armor. In addition to medicine, it increases the damage of poison attacks. I asked about it.

And I run with the Pilgrim set. When I upgraded it to the legendary version, I was simply stunned by its appearance and the effect when running! In addition, focus is charged when running. Now I have started Chapter 6, I will see if it is worth changing it to another one. But I liked Thrust Stance more: it seems to me that its powerful blow is longer and there is a rebound back, although it does not work as sharply as dodging (for some reason it works better with Chu-Bai Spear). But that is another topic.
