I don't think energy factors changes it at all, but the common way of going about is to increase your physical swing damage and get the appropriate pierce.

Spell damage will work for the original melee strike, but it's rare that your original hit is your main damage. Not worth investing into IMO. And spell factor does nothing.

For flat damage, you'll need to get lots of -enemy res of whatever element, and/or global elemental damage (i.e. firedance or acid fiends). The damage also scales with the WDM modifier of your attack, if you have options there.

For physical damage converted, it's the same, except that anything you do to increase your physical damage increases your elemental damage as well.

AFAIK spell damage will affect the flat elemental/magic damage from any wdm skill, regardless of whether it's the actual weapon swing or a projectile or whatever

The most common solution is wearing the full sets you got from quest "YSHARI SANCTUM".

I tried that, it keeps me alive for 10 seconds maybe. I've seen people stand still and facetank wrath with it but the set no longer gives 75% block?

Nobody with further advice for this?

My buried Hawk gives +1 Runemaster. However, it doesn't give my sorc extra defense, even after I re-equip all the items with runes. What's the problem and any ways to get the skill work?

Runemaster without hard points doesn't really work. And since this is oskill you won't have any serious benefit off this skill.

Tbh they should just update this to something like +3% defense per socketed rune.
