Definitely no, for a few reasons.

1. Why would elemental mastery give elemental damage to non-elemental attacks? When a chef is building a house, does their great cooking skills suddenly make them a master electrician or plumber? Doesn't even make sense.
2. The change would supercharge the mobs, making them hit harder than they already do, which is fairly hard. If you don't believe me, go solo a monk, full explore, in a few trapdoors. Let's see how well you stand up to that damage.

Lastly, I just like being disagreeable, and if something is going to be updated, it should be useful and make sense, which this fails at.

I solo monk all the time and go down td's and its not really hard at all. And I play on hc. And my gear is not the best.

E: unless we have events like this lol

What??? Why would elemental mastery add elemental damage? CUZ thats what i want it to do!!!! Your point makes no sense, why would a chef build a house. they wouldnt, they hire electricians and plumbers
It wouldnt supercharge mobs, it would only work on characters, kind of like half the stats.
Solo a monk, full explore and go down TDs? Already did that. But dont go down Tds cuz they are useless except take it longer to level

It is useful, and it makes perfect sense. Thanks for your comments though.

...and at a guess, you're casting your monk, not melee, so you directly benefit from masteries as is. Though I can understand how you'd want to have your element be turned into a 5 element charm.

I suppose I should have specified "go solo melee monk".

You still failed to address the first and foremost point: How does a swinging a sword suddenly mean you shoot lightning out of your butthole? And if we're going to apply this to the mastery drop thing, why not apply it to earned masteries as well? I mean, after a few million clicks, why not have profs give their respective elemental damages to melee? Answer: Because they're buffs to their specific dmg type. And masteries have the added benefit of defending from that dmg type. It's a really high powered stat type for a secondary.



Which stats don't impact mobs outside of xp gain?

Your response shows pretty clearly that you just want a free dmg buff that will break immunities and resistances. Could have at least been honest and presented it that way.

Voted yes only because something and anything to buff the masteries would be more beneficial than what it currently is, but I would much rather just see them removed completely from the drop table and would be way easier for Paul to do.

its an internet game
in rpg/gaming/history there have been tons of weapons that are charged with elemental attacks

edit: how did i present it any other way? The mastery is useless as it is, why not make it powerful?

Why would I cast monk? Lol
No I go mellee, even using my 177ee 45 dagger, 32 dex robe, and 48 dex charm. And still even 60+ is not to bad in a few td's.
Not near as bad as this event right now

IMO, masteries should be totally removed, as they just decrease the chances of getting the more important bonuses.

If you have a bucket with 4 black pearls, and 1 white one, you have 1 chance in 5 of getting the white one
The more black pearls that are added to the bucket, the less chance you have of getting a white one

Yeah -- I am just being my usual Cranky Old Fart, of course. Bring on the hate

That's not how LS works. If you want a game that works that way, go play one of those games.

Your suggestion would allow an attack to carry all 5 elements plus physical, with a multiplier, and completely defeat the basis of having immune mobs. It would make the mastery stat drop the single most powerful stat in the game. Sure, you'd want the EE on your weapon or whatever charm you're using. But outside that, even stats would play a secondary roll to masteries.

It's possibly one of the most game-breakingly bad suggestions I've seen in years.

Edit: And most of your list is false. Go well a bit. You'll see the lifesteal, lph, etc. So mobs do benefit. The only question is whether it's only well mobs.



That's the point. You aren't soloing monk in TDs right now, are you? Not a chance in hell you're going to go to level 77 on your HC character, is there?

You talk about how you "do it". But you really don't unless you can do it as easily as possible. Because you're on pussycore, where you're so afraid to die that you refuse to play.

critical flux is actually a nice stat - it gives you a % chance to not be critted by the monster
I forget what glancing blow is, but ofc you can look that up on LS portal
LPK is pretty nice on levels 1-15ish. I like me some LPK on my low level gear ^^
I agree with you about these last 4 stats, tho - very badly nerfed

anyway I like your idea... voted yes
