Projectile + Elemental Damage Question!

Hey guys,

I'm building a shadow wander (siphoning strike) and wanted to confirm something which will more or less determine the build's viability.:

Do +Projectile Damage nodes apply to on-hit elemental damage, e.g. on weapon or from auras?

Similarly, do +Elemental Damage nodes apply to on-hit ele damage?



Thanks in advance for your help

Projectile damage will apply to all projectiles, therefore even to your wand attack. Elemental dmg should increase the elemental portion of the hit.
yes this much is obvious, but my questions remain unanswered :(

any help?
+% Projectile Damage increases the Damage from ALL sources if the Attack/Skill/Spell is considered a Projectile, That includes Chaos Damage. Ice spear is a Projectile, Firestorm is not. Bows Shoot projectiles, However Arrow Rain Is not a Projectile.

+% Elemental Damage will increase all Elemental damage It will not matter if it's a Spell or a Skill, or if you get it from a armor piece.

+% Weapon Elemental Damage will only Increase the elemental Damage inflicted with your weapon. As well as Skills that utilises the Equipped weapon. Ice spear is a spell It will not gain benefits from +% Weapon Elemental Damage. Fire Arrow Is a skill wich utilises your Equipped bow (Weapon) It will Gain benefits from +% Weapon Elemental Damage.

Explosive Arrow is a skill But only the Impact of the arrow, not the Explosion, will benefit from +% Weapon Elemental Damage And +% Projectile Damage. However The Explosion Should Gain Benefits from +% Elemental & +% Fire Damage as it is of the Element Fire.

Does your wand deal Elemental damage? Does your Wand shoot Projectiles? Does it display that you gain a Benefit to your Auto-attack in your character sheet when you activate a Aura?
If Yes... Then read the spoiler below.

Spoiler
Yes.
+% Projectile, +% Elemental & +% Weapon Elemental will Effect your Weapons On hit Damage. Even if it gains damage from your armor, Auras Or Other sources.

THANK YOU <3
Just to clarify something, Rain of Arrows does benefit from Projectile Damage.
