question about weapon stats

[Troy Muni]

I've just started playing this for about a week now and had a question about how stats work in this game. Can't seem to find an answer...can someone answer this for me:

Do weapons with %fire damage apply to spells that do fire damage? I've heard people say that the weapon doesn't matter in this game. But weapons have bonuses on them, like %spell damage, so why wouldn't the weapon matter?

Basically trying to figure out if I should prioritize things like fire and lightening damage on the weapon over spell damage, or vice versa. thx

% firedamage on weapons should work for spell also iirc, the "15 firedamage" etc on weapons will only affect attacks with that weapon(left/right click by default)

it will say in the character screen or whatever what the different skills count as, for instance it will say "spell, physical, fire". wich means it will be affected by those moidifiers

There is not a +% elemental damage on weapons. The Weapon damage is not applied to spells. However +Spellpower, % Spell Crit and Elemental Penetration do apply.

Thanks for confirming. Do you know if HoH1 is designed the same way?

Thank you as well. I agree, it doesn't make any sense. Fire is fire...except in HoH2 apparently lol. I was going to buy the first game too because I was enjoying this one so much, but the bloom's falling off the rose the more I progress. Do you know if it's like this in HoH1 and if melee is viable in endgame?

oh yea my bad, the %elemental damage is on other gear not weapons.

idk abt the first game, been ages since i played it and i hated it. i liked this one more buuut its unfinished, unbalanced and very little content..
