Weapon Elemental dmg, Added Fire, Ele Weapon

Hi there,

i read several threads about elemental damage now but still i cant get a hang on it.

If i use a weapon with Lightning elemental damage on it, Added fire damage and weapon elemental damage will then all the elemental sources be scaled up by weapon elemental dmg?

-So the the damage on the weapon is multiplied?
-the added fire damage is also multiplied?
-and ele damage from gear is also multiplied by it? (Ele Damage on gear is flat added to the weapons elemental damage right?)

This question appeared for me when seeing a youtube video where a spectral throw build had like 24000 with lmp tooltip dmg and was literally butchering Dominus on Merciless in seconds.

How in hell did he get the damage that high? My ST build with a pretty decent weapon reaches not even 2000 tooltip dmg.

Can anyone explain this to me pls?

Would be really appreciated.
Weapon Elemental Damage will scale any elemental damage you'd deal with hits from your weapon. Your examples will be affected.

Also, about DPS: this is usually achieved with high attack speed, high critical strike chance/multiplier, and godly gear with 5/6 linked sockets for your main attack.
