Weapon Damage Becomes Fire Damage Engraving

[The Father]

not sure if i understand it properly and if there is a description page for engravings as i havent found one, anyway, my assumption is when adding this engraving to any item, then your normal damage becomes fire damage, so if you have like 150% fire damage and your warrior damage is 100% then your warrior damage becomes 150%.

is that correct?

I don't know of a "warrior damage becomes fire damage" engraving, but the "weapon damage becomes fire damage" makes all normal attacks with the weapon also deal fire damage. I'm not sure what the conversion is on damage though. Because you definitely still deal normal physical damage with a weapon with that engraving, in addition to fire. Same with the poison damage engraving.

It multiplies it. The stats you see in the inventory for warrior damage, that is now multiplied by 150% fire damage.

so suppose you have 100 warrior damage after everything and you got now a 150% fire damage bonus. With flame weapons or a weapon on fire your new damage will be 100 x (1+1.5)= 250 damage. Basically with fire weapon or flaming attack skill both do the same thing you add a (1+fire damage%) multiplier to your overall damage.

When you hit with an elemental attack it does an impact damage based on calculations show and also a chance to apply a dot based on your elemental build up.

Going elemental is one of THE BEST ways to maximize your damage by par none.

Ah sorry i corrected it to Weapon Damage instead of warrior damage.

Thanks both of you for clarification.
