A question regarding Elemental Property Attack

[Draconid]

Is there any bonuses for Elemental Property Attack that matches a skill element? Let´s say I have a hat with Fire Property Attack ^20 in a Pyromancer. Do my fire skills get additional bonus damage (due to being fire type)? Considering an Earth elemental monster. If my hat now is Ice Property Attack ^20 (Fire and Ice both don´t have advantages against Earth), is the damage the same?

Thanks!

PS: I am sorry if this question was already answered elsewhere, I´ve seen a few questions but none of them touched in this specific situation.

Just a flat +dmg after every hit. It only gets a bonus/penalty depending on a monster’s element.

So it doesn´t matter if the Elemental Property Attack matches a skill element, the additional damage is just a flat value that may be increased depending on the monster´s element. In my cenario then, using Fire or Ice Property Attack would be the same, correct?

Yes. IIRC it also works like a critical attack stat which is added to the final damage ingoring DEF.

Please note that Pyromancer 3 has Hell Breath which gives a debuff that makes enemies take 50% additional damage from fire element.

If your elemental attack is fire element, it’ll deal 50% more damage (while other elements won’t) with that debuff.

Other than that, no, using a fireball with +ice atk helmet will work (almost) the same as +fire atk helmet. I wrote ‘almost’ there because you have to take mobs different elemental resistances into consideration (against a fire element mob a +ice atk helmet would obviously be better).

Thank you both for the answers! ^-^

While your fire type skills do not get a bonus from fire type property damage, your fire type property damage gets a bonus for being applied on a fire type skill IF you use it on an enemy weak to fire.

i.e:

• 100 non-element damage + 10 fire property damage on a fire weak monster is 100 damage + 15 fire property damage
• 100 fire damage + 10 fire property damage on a fire weak monster is 150 fire damage + 22.5 fire property damage

Matching element property damage to your skill element makes the element property damage better for monsters weak to that element.

Better said by dream:

[Damage Guide] The big formula, modifier types, and how they interact!

Extra Elemental Attack

This is where all your Elemental Attack stats are added, after crits, before everything else. These all add on to each other if you have multiple types of elements and are always applied, no matter what the attack is (even on DoT effects like Bleeding!).

This Elemental Attack is already multiplied by Elemental Bonuses on its own, so yes, having Fire Elemental Attack and then casting a Fire skill on a Ice enemy will make it multiply by 150% once for itself, then again for the whole skill.

Elemental Resistances and Resistance buffs/debuffs are accounted for again here too, just like the bonus being applied twice. The full formula for Elements is

Oh, wow! So it DOES make a difference! Thank you very much, Reilet!
