So this is pretty basic but i can not find any info on it.
I am wondering if effects on weapons such as Vampire and what not effect the spells you cast.
Thanks

When asked recently if elemental affixes count, Bashiok said that they do, so I assume that other affixes would as well.

[KalikooJack]

yes they do

Yes all affixes should translate to spells. What is surprising sometimes is seeing the elemental damage of your weapon affect the death effects of your attacks. For example a Wizard using Spectral Blade with a weapon that has +holy damage will result in mobs dying with the holy death animation.

This is true for skills that have no damage type of their own. Spectral Blade is about the only Wizard skill that has no damage type, so it copies the one from the weapon. For example, Electrocute will always show the lightning death animation.

Actually these are both considered Physical dmg I believe. Any physical damage skills will copy the elemental dmg effect of the weapon. Something like the Witch Doctor's Poison Dart will always appear as poison damage obviously, however it remains to be tested if the elemental damage of the weapon still carries through - just that we don't get to see it.
