iron grip - increase melee physical damage

iron grip does not help increase melee physical damage for spectral throw correct?

(it will only make + str go towards projectile)

Spectral throw will get bonus's from the following


increased damage with melee weapons (sword/axe, ect)
Increased projectile speed
Increased projectile dmg
Increase attack speed


It will not get damage from - (even with iron grip)
Increased Melee Physical damage will not work.
Increase casting speed will not work.

Please correct me if i am wrong thanks!

Iron Grip is beneficial for Spectral Throw if you take many Strength nodes on the tree and/or have a fair number of Strength bonuses on your gear.

If you read the Iron Grip keystone, all it says is that melee physical damage bonus from Strength applies to projectile attacks, not all melee physical damage bonuses.

Everything you said is correct.

My answer may be outdated, but I see no reason that it would be, as the wording appears to be the same on all relevant objects.

agree thanks for that just wanted to make sure i was on the right track.

Hope it clears it up for anyone else that comes along and sees this.

Hello guys, I'm not sure I really understood...

Let's take a concrete example:

Here is a passive skill from the tree :

12% increased physical damage with staves


Will Iron grip have an effect on it or not?

thank you for your answer.

Iron grip doesn't affect other increases, all 'increased' mods are additive, they just add together. Read up on damage calculation on wiki or mechanics thread here.
