Elemental fire inconsistent

Thats all expected

With SOF & Elemental Fire

+10 paag with +5 ele with the new 33-66-100

with ele only

It's hard to see ele without soul on

Because it will give 50% on the 30dmg swings as well as the 50 DMG swings

 The 100% only means Elemental Fire’s bonus damage block always triggers. It does not make the whole melee hit a fixed
  number.

  Each swing can still vary because the base damage before Elemental Fire includes things like:

  - weapon damage roll
  - weapon enchant / bless / material modifiers
  - STR and class damage modifiers
  - target reduction/DR/armor effects
  - critical/double/proc style effects
  - elemental resistance or vulnerability
  - random PvE/PvP damage variance if applied elsewhere

  Elemental Fire then takes that already-variable damage and boosts the eligible part by 1.5x. So if your base swing
  rolls 100, it becomes roughly 150; if the next base swing rolls 120, it becomes roughly 180.

so even 100% elemental fire x1.5 damage will not give you say 50, 50, 50, 50, 50

Yes that reads exactly as I would expect. BUT when you add soul of flame the number is no longer variable it's always max roll

• weapon damage roll (always max from SOF)
• weapon enchant / bless / material modifiers (non variable)
• STR and class damage modifiers** (non variable)**
• target reduction/DR/armor effects (variable by target but not variable in testing)
• critical/double/proc style effects (excluded)
• elemental resistance or vulnerability (variable by target but not variable in testing)
• random PvE/PvP damage variance if applied elsewhere * (variable by target but not variable in testing)*

Am I wrong here?

For a sword with 10/10 dmg and +1dmg that is +7 on a elf with 35 STR I would expect
10 damage every swing from sword with SOF
+7 weapon enchant damage
+1 weapon dmg
+12 STR bonus
+0 for "class damage modifier" (may be different but im not sure what it would be)
Summed to 30 dmg per swing * 1.5 for elemental fire to end up as 45 dmg per swing

I don't know what the best approach is

the elemental enchant thing stood as as an interesting middle ground, but also not ideal

and 100% in general may just be the way to go

It seems like 100% would be an across the board buff for fire elves across the board rather than an incremental buff base on how rich you are

And I had a mage tank me in melee last night as a 66 fire rod fully buffed with 35 str and a KV1HS…. A buff seems realistic lol

i set it for 100% and walked back my 33-66-100 based on ele

i dont want to overcomplicate things for under-populated classses/combos

Cool. Should it be live?

it is

100% feels good. A moderate dmg increase, even more reliable dmg. Not a huge buff but certainly stronger in PVE

Thanks guys, since this is tested and in, we'll close this one out. Feel free to re-open if we need to discuss/re-adjust.
