However, the ONLY part of the skill that will be affected is the 261% weapon damage. Un-runed Cyclone Strike will always deal Holy damage and is therefore subject to the Holy Skills deal X% more damage stat. The Elemental Skills deal X% more Damage affix only applies the skills that deal X% weapon damage in some way. This has been a very popular question over the last couple of weeks and it's a very strait forward one. This is 1.63x as much damage increase as the CHC!!!Ĭritical Hit Chance has historically been the best stat for DPS so it's awesome to see a stat beat it out completely. If, instead of that stat, you went with 15% skill damage you would be getting a massive 15% total damage increase to your skills.
A normal character will usually get about 9.23% total damage increase from the 6% Critical Hit Chance stat on your Bracers. Ray of Frost will now deal 510% * 1.35 = 688.5% weapon damage.Īs you can see, this stat is immensly powerful. This is an "additive" stat and your total bonus to cold skills is simply the sum of all your bonuses. Now let's say you have Azurewrath and Frostburn Gauntelets equipped giving you one source of 20% cold skill damage and another source of 15% cold skill damage. However, If you have the Azurewrath equipped, it will instead deal 510% * 1.2 = 612% weapon damage. if you use a skill that is designated as "cold damage" it will do more damage than the same skill if it were designated as something else.Īs you can see, Ray of Frost normally deals 510% weapon damage. In this example, we see that Azurewrath can roll with " Cold skills deal 15-20% more damage"įor the rest of this example, we will assume it rolled with 20%.įor the most part, this stat is easy to understand. Here is an example of the stat in question. I will do my absolute best to write this in a readable way but I want to warn those with a weak-constitution. Most classes now have access to skills dealing many different types of damage which allows different builds based on which element you want to specialize in. Along with MANY more cases of this affix, Blizz has implemented a pretty solid elemental system for our skills.
