Hi i was wondering if anyone here can help me decide on new offhand weapon
i was searching ah mainly for won khim lau because i think this would be best option but i need yours oppinion on that.
i have inna's belt which has 8% to holy and Won's have 6% to lightning im guessing i recive either holy or lightning dmg bonus ( in this case 8 from betl ) and this 6 % will go where ? anyone could explain this situation ? maybe it is good to combine these 2 elements ?.
or if this is bad combination what should i buy ?.
As has been stated before on this forum, +% to element damage is a flat damage increase of your physical damage. This means that if you are using a "black" weapon (meaning it has no elemental damage, only physical) the +% lightning damage increases your weapon by that percentage. +% lightning damage does not affect your lightning skills. The +% to lightning skills on the Won Khim Lau DOES affect your skills, so if you find one that has +25% it will drastically improve your sweeping winds : cyclone and Thunderclap.
Essentially, if you have a "black" weapon, you should look into +% element for the pure damage buff. It can significantly increase your damage. If you use a weapon with elemental damage, even if it is lightning element, your +% to lightning won't affect it, and only increase the base physical damage.
Not sure if I typed that out in a way that makes sense, but I hope that helps explain it a bit.
shenglong set does mediocre damage unless you get the really expensive sets with high crit and sockets. WKL is cheaper and does more damage if you get a high lightning damage % and a socket.
