The LCS is lying to you... spell damage only applies to elemental damage on direct melee hits like Windform. It doesn't work with any ranged attacks at all (or most melee skills, because those also use projectiles).

yea we actually just covered in another topic that it in fact does...

all the elemental bow users are using spell damage equipment to scale their damage

it is working, but the benefit drops off around 200% spell damage... and I think it does in fact work

for poison damage too, but that is actually not easy to test, perhaps ill try and narrow it down later

to know for sure

SSF Bowzon thread, I assume.

Weird if that's true, because we've always been told that it doesn't actually work... probably will get fixed in 2.0 if they know about it

it is not working in my tests (also posted in that thread). Monsters taking the same amount of damage with and without 135% increased spell damage. Only the tooltip goes up, but we already know not to trust the lcs.

its definitely working....

I dont believe that the games stat menu is calculating it properly, it does increase your damage...

so much so that it is worthwhile to carry around the gear for buffing elemental damage to blood lust

hence why elemental bowzons use

for buffing bloodlust, and now i keep shamanka in inventory when i really wanna crank up the damage,

and if i really wanna try hard i would keep qouv tsin sleep charm in cube to switch in for
buffing bloodlust elemental damage EVEN further

AND i craft abandoned trinity crafts with 10% spell damage as a third priority stat because it is directly related

to increasing our damage. I have tested this before, and it appeared to not work, tested it again it worked, tested it again
another time-didnt seem to make a difference, tested it again it worked, so clearly there are some bugs to be worked out
involved, but it does work, and it actually makes a huge difference in the mid game, I used to use clockwork slippers as if
they were best in slot after lottoing 30 some titan steppes boots and they might as well have been in the early game.

it doesnt work. that's all there is to it. it jsut doesnt work. stop being a moron and look at your d2 stat sheet elemental damage.

also curare is a weirdchamp pepega decision there. "BUT IT GIVES MORE DAMAGE UR WRONG" sure, but bowzon is a rapidly hitting skill whereas the poison over time concept is compeltely useless since you continually hit and therefore your actual hits kill the enemies.

bloodlust actually doesn't really do anything at all for ele bowzon. its just habitual that amazons use bloodlust prebuff items because it affects every other amazon build, except for this one.

if you want to spell damage stack your amazon, go for it, just be in the mindset that you're building the absolute worst possible version of an ele bowzon with the one exception that you're stacking spell procs to utilize the spell damage, in which case you'd also want high spell focus synergy, and that's not an ied amazon anymore, that's a very very niche and nerfed proczon = spirit of vengeance with the su long war bow.

Spell dmg works with elemental flat dmg n00bs , stack 500% spell damage and deal 5x more dmg :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: This is not POE where everything is a multiplier and everything dies in 1 second , if spell damage was a multiplier for wdm skills it would be POE XL...

I wouldn't mind seeing some conclusive video evidence of these theories. A lot of contradictory claims floating around this thread.

There isnt. It doesnt work, and ds works only for weapon physical dmg, before conversion, end of discussion.
