Elemental Damage with Attacks
|
Does the gem need to be socketed in a weapon? The text reads like a normal support gem yet this is a general support to all elemenetal damage right?

All Supports only apply to linked skills. They never apply to your character or to an item.

I don't think it's working for me, or I'm doing something wrong... I am a templar, in my chestpeice, I have Lightning Strike gem, and the Weapon Elemental Damage support gem, but doesn't seem to be working? Cause I see the Weapon Elemental Damage gem, it says Mana cost multiplier 170% right? So I assume 170% of the lightning strike skill(for me its 11mp) I'd assume it would be about 18mp or so, but no increase in mana, and I keep testing, only uses 11 mp... the damage doesn't change either when I look in the skill slots. Help!!

Yea... I thought it was just because it was on armor, and needed both on weapon, found a 2h mace, put both on it, still to no avail, can anyone tell me whats wrong or how its REALLY suppose to work? Cause I don't see damage change in the description, no mana increase in skill, and since this game does not show damage numbers...

Support gems need to be in a socket linked to the socket where the active skill gem is. You have the gems in to unlinked sockets.
Here is an example of a support and skill gem in linked sockets: You can see that there is a link between the lower and middle sockets, where the gems are, but not between the middle and upper sockets. You'll need to find items with sockets linked like these to use the support gem. | |

I know WED applies to elemental damage on gear and on auras like Anger, Wrath.
My question is: Does WED apply to converted damage on skills like: Lightning strike Infernal Blow Glacial Hammer Example: No elemental damage on gear and no auras: Using WED on LS/IB/GH would increase its damage? |

" Ofcource it does, those are elemental damage you weapon attack does. "An it harm none, do what you will"

May I bump this question again please?
" This answer ... " ... seems to be okay in general, but when I read an old statement for skeleton minions that are *visually* holding a weapon, I'm not sure anymore since they could just be *Unarmed* which doesn't seem to count as *Weapon*: quote from this thread " Anyone who did some extensive testing knows for sure? If you're leaving PoE, chances are I'll rezz you as my minion! MWHAHAHAH

Does +elemental dmg% affect this?
Does +fire dmg% affect this if the weapon deals fire dmg? Does +cold cold% affect this if the weapon deals cold dmg? Does +lightning dmg% affect this if the weapon deals lightning dmg? Does +spell power% affect the elemental portion as well? All +spell power%? Would then iron will scale with this as well? |

People often comment on how physical damage is outshone by elemental damage for most weapon users (everything except 2h melee, basically). How much of that disparity is down to this one support gem? The bonus it gives is absolutely enormous.
