Eureka Elemental Bonus Dmg Increase 2018

That is to say, do elemental damage nodes effect chaos damage, such as from poison arrow?
Thanks!

No, only fire, cold, and lightning are elemental.

I don't know why... But I thought a diamond member would know something like this?
Just personally, I wouldn't spend 1k on a game until I am well and truly familiar with the game and its community, and that I would be dedicated to the game.

Above poster is correct that it is not elemental damage, but I believe spell damage % nodes affect chaos damage.
At least in the case of added chaos damage support gem. So you can increase it.

It IS very confusing:
* It is listed as part of elemental resistances on the marauder side (2x +3% nodes), as if it was a fourth resistance type.
* It is called 'poison' in the skill Poison Arrow, even though people say 'it's not like poison'.
But then people in chat say it's 'not like poison' because 'it bypasses energy shield'. So? Couldn't poison also bypass energy shield? What game are they referring to in those assumptions?
Moar confusion here:

Plus:
GGG doesn't seem to mind the poison/chaos distinction:

We do have a few ideas for flasks that help you with poison and/or chaos damage, but we haven't decided which option to go for yet.

I knew, but its not like I know everything. For instance I suck at crafting, but then again how do I know I suck at crafting? Its completely random.

There was also a couple of more longer explanation by Mark, but I can't seem to find those post...

I think a lot of the confusion, and people calling it poison, is also a carry over from Diablo 2. There, it was actually called poi...I'm gonna shut up, because most people here have played D2, and know what I'm talking about. =P
That was also DOT.

Eureka Elemental Bonus Dmg Increase Price

What is the average damage increase from Elemental Adept for a few signature spells/elements? Alternatively, the perfect answer can provide a formula for calculating this damage increase, based on the number of dice rolled and the size of the dice. How should one weight elemental damage compared to other damage stats? You went with 15% element damage you would be getting a huge 15% total damage increase to all your. That nubmber can be upgraded with the '+x% damage to skill' affixe then you get the boost from elemental bonus damage on your gear that final number can crit for. It's the new level/progression system used inside of Eureka: Anemos. The cap, currently, is 20. Each time you level up, you gain dmg in all of the 6 elemental categories. Eureka: Anemos also has a very interesting system where, the further the gap between you and a monster is, the more dmg is dealt/less is received - favoring the higher level.
