Question about damage

Hi everyone!

“Flat Damage applies only to your weapon attacks and does not increase the damage from your skills”

Let’s say i use Dreeg’s Evil Eye.
Then i choose Abomination devotion.

Which of the following Abomination bonuses do i get as a ranged caster of DEE?
12 Acid Damage
+80% Poison Damage
600 Poison Damage over 5 Seconds

And do Blood Burst get affected by these bonuses? :rolleyes:

The base skill DEE has no weapon damage so only +80% poison damage

Hi Pyroh!

You’ve asked an interesting question, I’ll try to make it as simple as possible.

+80% poison damage is global

12 Acid damage only applies to weapon damage (ie blood burst) and thus DEE on its own will receive none of this. With blood burst you will receive this value modified by the % weapon damage on the skill. At 1 point in blood burst, the burst will deal 3% of the 12 acid damage, for example.

I assume your final example, the 600 poison damage, refers to tainted eruption, the acid proc on abomination. This is an active skill that fires 15% of the time when you attack using the skill to which you have bound it.

Thank you guys for quick answers :slight_smile:
