How work mechanic "increased Elemental Damage with Attacks"

Hello.
I want to ask a question about how the increased "Elemental Damage with Attacks" stat works on weapons.
For example:
The skill converts 80% of physical damage into ice damage. Will it work with this skill and how?

Any "Increase" on a specific damage type work in every situation.

In your case "Elemental Damage with Attacks" means, it will increase any elemental damage you do ONLY on skills with the tag "Attack".

So if a skill converts 80% of your physical to an element, then you will have X% increase on those 80% from physical.

The calculation in poe1 is a bit complex, but if you're interested you can find it on the forums.

But TLDR: if you do flat elemental damage AND/OR your are converting any type of damage to elemental damage. If you have "increased elemental damage" somewhere, it will increase your elemental damage.

Side note: increased elemental damage is not always the optimal method to scale your damage.

I think they mentioned few times, that in PoE 2, only bonuses to converted type of damage apply. So remaining 20% of physical damage will get bonus from increased physical damage, while converted 80% will not, but will from bonuses to elemental damage.

So, if you have 50% increased physical damage, 100% increased elemental damage and do 100 damage with 80% of it converted to cold, I think it should be

0.2 * 1.5 + 0.8 * 2 = 190 total damage.

Am I understanding correctly that this is just an additional bonus to elemental damage, not multiplicative?

Yup that's what I meant. I did not go in depth on the calculation as I'm not sure of the exact changes from PoE1 right now and Deadsult was asking for the overall concept anyway ^^

This is what Suchka just explained. Apparently in PoE 2...
Assuming you do 100% increased elemental damage:

It's multiplicative ( 80% of physical conversion x 2 ) but BEFORE any physical increase so the final computation is additive :)

If you prefer, your elemental damage WILL NOT increase if you boost physical damage increase bonuses.

So in that case where you'd be using increased elemental... the proper method would be to boost the flat physical damage instead if you're converting to elemental.

Again, assuming Suchka is right on the calculation in PoE 2 : D
