Am I getting this right?



Skills that have Element damage->*Improves based on player level* damage, aren't improved by +% damage of that element.

But skills that have %DPS->Element#, are improved by +% damage of that element.






A specific example:

Dynamo Field - #* electric damage improves with player level, does not seem to be affected by +% electric damage.
Ember Hammer - Inflicts 82% of Weapon DPS as Electric Damage, is affected by +% electric damage.




TL;DR:
Flat elemental damage and elemental damage improved by player level is not increased by +% element damage.
% weapon dps as element damage is affected by +% element damage.


Is that right?
I'm hitting a dummy with my skills and it seems to be the case.

I was testing it with my Engineer, and I do the same amount of damage on my flat skills as I do with or without gear.

Dynamo Field seems to the skill that doesn't add damage for me.
Most of the other skills do.


Could it be bugged?

It;s possible i would go on the runic forum's and see if there's a bug report section and do some kind of research and see what the problem may be with it.. if you don't find anything, if you believe that is it. Report it, i'm sure it will be fixed immediately(next patch)

It was confirmed that there is an issue currently with DoT skills.


Apparently, DoT skills will not gain the bonuses from +% elemental damage.





Also, there are tons and tons of bugs with this game. But it's still pretty amazing how polished this game is at such an early stage in it's life.
It's still young, but it has a lot of potential, if they get rid of that that open modding stuff, or at least introduce a 'closed bnet' version of the game.

It's depressing how floods of low quality releases relegated us to think a game needing multiple updates to fix critical problems is well polished at launch, where has the gaming world gone? I miss the days of no or few patches for an entire game's life cycle.

Yeah, i checked it and DoT doesn't seem to be affected.. just normal damage.. my initial arrows do poison damage.
