Because there is no bug. The damage bonus is intended. Deal with it.
wrong, it is bugged. they even said its bugged. they want %damage to affect elemental rolls, they just didnt get to it in this patch. +1 cookie to you for being oblivious and a blatant asshole to the OP
The %Damage affix on weapons is currently only applying a benefit to weapons with the physical damage type and has no effect on weapons that deal elemental damage.
So my +10% dmg is not giving me 10 % dmg ? I should reroll it to skill dmg bonus rather.
You can if you want, but it's not such a huge loss in damage that you can't wait for them to fix it.
There are a lot of people around here who are fucking up their weapons simply because of this bug. Once it's fixed, many of those weapons will forever be sub-par. Don't be hasty.
Nothing in hotfixes about it either if anyone has seen anything please point me in the right direction.
