increased Elemental Damage with Attacks vs increased Physical Damage
|
why is the mod with physical damage with accuracy more highly sought than increased elemental damage with attacks for a weapon like bow? aren't they essentially the same? I even think that the elemental damage gives more value or am i wrong about this? bow users usually uses attack skills anyway so I dont see the "with attack" as a problem. is accuracy that big of a difference? can anyone explain?

Phys dmg mod on weapons is a local mod that increases the base attack value, to which other modifiers are then applied. Increased ele dmg is a global mod, it is additive with all other applicable sources of increased dmg.

It depends on the skill u use. As to skill with high percentage of phys dmg converted to ele dmg (such as Herald of Thunder 100% conversion), increased ele dmg is likely to perform better than phys dmg in the same value. However it concerns several factors (base weapon dmg etc.)
