Q: I thought raekor's made FC basically the same for all elements (the rune you pick only changes the element type, but you get the effect of all runes). So, wouldn't it help you better to run with lightning damage since together as one deals lightning (although it's a very minor damage boost, it would be a boost after all)?

Let's say you have an attack that does w % weapon damage; to get the final damage done by the attack you multiply by y (elemental, elite, skill %, etc)

With your current weapon, one attack does D = A * w * y, where A is a value in the weapon damage range

If the weapon damage gets buffed 23%, and the new passive, then you have, for that same "hit":

D' = (A*(1.23)) * w * y * (0.8)
D' = A * w * y * 1.23 * 0.8
D' = Awy * 0.984
D' = 0.984 D
So in the minimum range, it is a slight nerf, if the calculation is correct. With 25% buff it's the same damage.

Edit: you can see the elite, elemental, skill % only adds noise since everything is multiplicative, they can be ignored.
