Wrong % would be weapon based not overall damage, would be insane at higher lvls, if it was that way each gem would make me do 235 more damage. 705 extra damage total, also damage its not based on your skills. It just adds 5% more elemental damage to your wep, so lets say your weapon does 100, thats extra 5+ elemental damage, people like to use ice or light since mobs have less resist to those elements.
Also @ higher lvls depending on ur build sometimes its better to use rhombuses or pyramids. and not elemental gems, segs for example.
When I asked on offical 2moons forums how it was calculated what I told him was how they explained it to me. Quite obviously I was misinformed.
