Storm Ring not working?

[Augoeides]

I'm playing on the Switch, so might be different coding there, but when I use the Storm Ring, it amps my Elemental Imbalance like it says, but my spells don't actually get any stronger.

Like, when I fire a Lightning Bolt without the ring, I hit for 40, but when I take off the Storm Ring, I hit for 43. Similar weakness with other spells. I've heard that it's a really good ring, but it doesn't seem to aid me in any way? Or is that the purpose of the ring, just to amp the Elemental Imbalance, and I'm reading too much into what it can do?

I'm not currently equiped with the ring "Link of Fire and Sky", so I know that's not the problem.

I've been using that site, and I've already said I'm not using both rings together.

I've been testing the ring on the same enemies, with and without the ring on, I always do less damage with the Storm Ring equiped.

Is it even supposed to raise damage, or only just to help you quickly alternate between 2 spells with the staff?

it actually increase lightning and fire damage like 40%-50% or something like that and amplifies the elemental imbalance (the cause of why i dont like it)

Weirdly enough, after reading this and trying the ring again, it works.

When I tried it in the Bandit's Pass, it made my spells do less damage to all the monsters there, but in the Castle of Storms I'm doing +50% more damage?

I guess you were right about elemental weaknesses, but that makes absolutely no sense. If' I'm doing +50% MORE damage with the ring on, even with elemental resistance, my damage should go UP, not DOWN with the ring on?

Anyway, thanks, I was starting to think my version of the game was busted. Now I just have to find a staff, so I can take advantage of swapping between fire and lightning with the ring.

Were your targets dying in one hit?

Probably, I'm guessing that screws with damage calculation somehow?

Pretty far into the game with Mage, but have been trying out all the other play styles.

Lightning hits twice. The storm ring often takes you from needing both hits to needing only one of them, which makes it seem like damage goes down.
