Explain Moonbender's Wing Plz

Please help me to understand Moonbender's Wing



Unlike the Princess, it says 'hits gain x% of physical as elemental'. So does that mean the damage conversion only takes place on the hit and not before the hit? So that means I wouldn't be able to gain the effect with Ice Crash for example? But instead I'd have to keep all the damage of the hit as physical for the effect to take place. The extra damage does not show up on the tooltip.

Also does Elemental Weapon Damage support work here? Since the damage is being applied at hit and doesn't show up on tooltip?

The damage doesn't show up on the tooltip because it is a random element. It is otherwise identical to "converted" damage, except that it doesn't remove the original physical damage component.

Well dayum aren't these axes under rated? I just realized that you can use these little spells that they cast to put effects on enemies. Just threw some gems on to test with.

ah I see thank you

well one more question am I better off going for attack damage or physical damage from the passive tree?


Attack damage affects all sources of damage (in the case that you have added flat elemental damage from any sources, such as the 1-120 on your feet).

Physical damage affects just the physical component. It scales up the converted damage but it doesn't affect external flat elemental damage.

ok but what I meant was does physical damage or attack damage increase dps for moonbender more. Funnily enough I swapped out some jewels that had the same numeric value but different type of damage

one was 'attack damage while dual wielding', the other was 'damage with one handed weapons'. The 'attack damage while wielding' gave better dps. So apparently attack damage while dual wielding does better than damage with one handed.

Attack damage while dual wielding and damage with 1h weapons are functionally the same stat for a build using Moonbenders, unless you're using an ability that isn't an attack. Not sure how you could get a different result from two jewels with the same numerical values.
oh ur right there was a one percent difference. one was 14% and other was 13%. It was late when I was looking at that ;p
