How exactly Doomfletch Prism works?

I keep seeing conflicting information. Some say that the elemental damage is added after all phys is calculated, which makes it sound like a pseudo more multiplier, which is wrong, surely.

It works like this, you got some base damage and the bow adds 110% of that in each element, so if you had 100, you end up with

100 phys
110 lightning/phys
110 cold/phys
110 fire/phys

And that's your base damage, physical passives will affect all of it and elemental passives will affect everything except the physical part, so physical bonuses obviously scale it better, they also tend to be higher than elemental.

do you guys know if physical projectile attack damage support scales correctly? thanks in advance.

It does. It basically just modifies the physical part of the damage and 3 the elemental damage parts are based on that one.

Despite being bow dealing mainly elemental damage Doomfletch scales exactly like a regular bow with the advantage of being able to use Weapon Elemental Damage too.

Just gonna add a neat little idea friend of mine came up with:

Doomfletch Prism works very well with added damage, and there are particular rings that give lots of these, namely:

It has the 30% reduced attack speed tho. To override this, he turned it into a trap. He was using Tornado shot, and he was one shooting packs with some out of this planet damage. :P

Damage added by Doomfletch is all of the physical damage you get on the bow, and it all scales with gems, eq and skill tree. The best setup with traps (I guess) for Doomfletch would be something like:

Skill gem - Trap - Cluster Traps - Physical Projectile Damage - WED - Trap and Mine Damage Support

You could try converting the physical part of the damage to elemental to get more damage from WED, but given it is only 1/4 of the damage you're doing, I'd say it isn't worth it. :=) Getting more flat damage/crit would do much better.

What is different between the fated and unfated versions of the doomfletch... I can't see a single difference other than you feel like an idiot trying to google what is different.

The difference is that the unfated version only adds one of a random element to your attacks with the bow, while the fated version adds all 3 elements to every attack.

According to PoE Builder +10% proj dam = +10% phys dam with Doomfletch Prism.
And +10% ele dam is slightly less than +10% phys dam.

It seems ++ proj dam is only cool for shrapnel shot.
