I really want to know how this support gem works and i can't seem to find the info. A few questions: One. Does it need to be socketed into a weapon and connected to a skill gem? Two. Since Support gems only buff connected skills (And not weapons) What exactly is this support gem buffing? - I know it can't actually buff the elemental damage on the weapon (See link 1-3 Fire 1-21 Lightning, since that is not a support gem's function). I also know it's somehow buffing Lightning Strike. But what and how, exactly? - I assume it either buffs the 50% converted lightning modifier from Lightning Strike to 113% Or the overall damage caused by Lightning strike by 63% Sorry, i suspect this may be in the wrong place but truthfully, i wasn't exactly sure where to make the thread. Some items in this post are currently unavailable. Last edited by l0rdzedd on Aug 1, 2012, 12:17:47 AM | Posted by on Aug 1, 2012, 12:14:16 AM |
1. It can be socket in any equip and connected to the skill gem. 2. The support Gem is buffing the elemental damage of Lightning Strike. | Posted by on Aug 1, 2012, 12:19:38 AM |
lightning strike takes 50% of your physical damage and converts it into lightning damage, the support gem is giving you a bonus 61% more elemental damage, when you use lightning strike, it also adds in all base damage you have from other gear, for example, the bonus elemental damage on your weapon. so, when elemental damage support applies its bonus, it is applying its elemental dmg bonus to all the elemental damage which lightning strike is using. At least this is how i understand it. i hope this helps. The answer is 42.

Ashamedly i found the result simply by checking the actual skill icon of Lightning Strike located on the skill-bar. Sorry for the wasteful post and thanks for the replies. | Posted by on Aug 1, 2012, 12:24:21 AM |

if you hover over lightning strike, as with other attack skills, on the skill bar, you will see something like 'mainhand does w-x physical dmg, z-y lighning dmg'. increased weapon elemental dmg increases the lightning dmg. if you have a-b fire dmg or c-d cold dmg, those will be increased as well, even if the dmg comes from gear or other support gems. the support gem doesn't have to be on a weapon itself to work, same as any attack skill gem requiring a weapon to use. increased weapon elemental dmg only works on attack skill gems that require a weapon, spells like fireball or ice spear are unaffected. | Posted by on Aug 1, 2012, 12:29:50 AM |

Does weapon elemental damage increase the lightning damage on the 3 projectiles? The wording on http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lightning_Strike is extremely confusing but it seems to say that those three projectiles are not part of the melee attack. | Posted by on Mar 15, 2015, 5:30:57 AM |
' The projectiles aren't part of the melee attack (since they're, you know, projectiles), but they are still affected by the damage conversion, and are thus affected by WED. That's why Melee Phys isn't really recommended for LS, as most of things that will probably hit are the projectiles themselves. In turn, the PPAD support gem should affect the projectiles but not the initial melee hit. it suffers the same situation as Molten Strike. EDIT: OMG this was a necro. didn't even notice. Better stay in the land of the damned, Exile. Here, even the very words are corrupted by Nightmare. Last edited by enveratise on Mar 15, 2015, 6:03:40 AM | Posted by on Mar 15, 2015, 6:01:39 AM |
