What a dick answer.
Of course I don't know what the answer is since I asked the question but why did you need to put it like I'm an idiot. Fuck you!


I meant no offence at all. I tried to answer your question as clearly as I can. The question you were asking made no sense and was clear that you did not know what you were doing. If your making a mistake with something simple like the spell totem, (really, not saying your stupid) what else are you mistaken about in the game? Thats why I say, read the gems word for word.

Look at the very top of every gem, that is everything you need to know about the skill. let's take fireball for example. Fire, Spell, Projectile, Aoe. Almost every passive that alters those 4 affixs will work. So if you want to stack fire dmg, spell dmg, projectile dmg and aoe dmg passives. They will all work and boost the fireball skill gem.

The Wiki site I posted helped me "ALOT" understand the game more. Has everything you need and has alot of errata on skills. For example, did you know that a fireball will only cause an aoe explosion on the first thing it hits and not the second? like when you chain a fireball or pierce a fireball.

If by me stating that you don't know what your doing or talking about is what offended you, I'm sorry. It's more of means of making you stop and rethink what you are doing.



You know exactly how rude you were. Asking me to read word by word slowly and all that noise.
I might not understand the game mecanics but that surly can't reflect on my ability to read.

I do read the gem info and I have the build with the passive skills in there but checking the tool tip on the skill as I play, I don't see the increase in damage. That might be because it's such a small increase or the tool tip might not get updated or the skills doesn't work as intended...I don't know. That is why I asked. I don't want a fucking lecture on how to read and idiotic replies like "You don't know what you're talking about". Of course I don't! That is why I ask for f sakes.

I would never be rude to anyone without cause. But you can be damn sure I'll be rude to a bully. Fight fire with fire.

Sincerely what he wrote wasnt offending in anyway.And if he told me it when i started i would have gladly accepted and appreciated that tip.

If you think its offensive then well, you can figure it out.

BTW... I have another question on the same topic.

Does Spell Damage on weapon and/or elemental damage on weapons effect this skill I use for the Spell Totem support gem?
Cus I have a wand, has +35% spell damage and I have another mace with +20% spell damage and +19& elemental damage and the wand shows on the tool tip to give more damage output..that made me confused.


There are no other stats that could influence the result on either one of them.

You need to calm down man, I even said i'm sorry.

you need to be more specific on what your trying to do. what gem are you trying to boost in dps?

There was a way to link the items in this forum, I should see if I still have the two weapons and link them, see if you get the correlation of stats from that.

I think there's been a misunderstanding here. He wasn't taking the piss. I've been playing for a while now and I'm only just starting to understand how important it is in this game to read (and sometimes re read) every word very slowly and consider its precise meaning. It was legitimate advice, I wish someone had given it to me a few months ago.

The tool tip is correct, the wand gives more dps boost because it has +35% spell damage. The elemental damage also work because the arc is using the element lightning. However it only has 19/20% dmg increase. so the 35% is better. Also keep in mind that the totem is reducing dmg to all gems connected with it by 40%. so small increases like for example +6% to lightning dmg might not even be noticed cause it's so small.

Well I guess that will always be subjective but no matter what
the dispute is a thing of the past...hopefully, if you guys could quit taking it up all the time and lets stick to the topic.

I can't find those two items to compare damage output but anyone know in general how it is intended to work. Is elemental damage on a mace meant to increase elemental damage on spells, on melee attacks and on skills used by the Spell Totem support gem?
