How exactly do elemental weapons and IED work?

Quick google search revealed nothing.
So how does it work? Do elemental weapons have a flat damage that is affected by the primary stat of the weapon? And how is it affected by IED in the calculation? And what stats affect the damage? Do ED and EWD do anything for example?

Sacred elemental bases convert a % of a given stat (str or dex) to elemental dmg. This is only affected by IED and the used skill's WDM. -enemy res is the only other thing that boosts damage

no, *innate* refers to the conversion-based stat coming from sacreds

This bow has innate fire damage based on your dexterity: 1538 (81.6% of your Dexterity).

If you add more % Innate Elemental Damage then: 'Innate Fire Damage': 1709 (90.2% of your Dexterity).

You will get more 'Innate Fire Damage' returns based on your dexterity from the amount of %IED you have

1. If my innate dmg 1709 like in screen above and 400-600 flat fire dmg, what summary dmg? 1709+ (400-600)?

2. What average innate dmg must have player for clearing dunc? ~2k fire dmg so small. Fire sorc have ~30k dmg from skills for example

1. yes 2. your skills add pretty big fire flat dmg and with enough pierce its enough to clear dunc , sorc skills cant get 30k dmg except poison, dmg was halved, you could get 30k on sorc last ladder but not anymore
