1. The 39-46 cold damage or 24-73 lightning damage is the damage I do on a basic attack using the staff, correct? And this damage scales based on...what things? Intelligence? Any % increased elemental damage on gear, etc.?2. The modifiers like +18% cold damage or +14% lightning damage would impact my skills like Lightning Bolt? What else do they impact? Pet damage?3. Do the flat modifiers like 7-25 Lightning damage or 14 lightning damage also increase the damage of skills like Lightning Bolt? Is that flat damage scaled at all by increased intelligence?4. Unrelated to the items, but if I want to maximize damage on a build using Lightning Bolt, Plague, and Squall (to a lesser degree), I should try and get as much +% or flat lightning and poison damage as possible? Hard for me to tell sometimes if getting flat or +% INT on gear is better than flat or +% increased lightning damage is superior since the DPS tool is so inaccurate.5. Lastly, the Archon Staff of Lightning seemed worse off compared to the Staff of Rime. I turned on damage numbers in the settings and cast lightning bolt on the same group of enemies several times, and it seemed the Staff of Lightning was worse damage on average, which didn't make sense because it has +% lightning damage which is what Lightning Bolt scales off of. The +% cold damage on the other staff shouldn't play into the damage from Lightning Bolt at all, correct? I'm wondering why it seemed superior.
I remember it was a topic of great length in the oldest forums about how monsters that die from Plague don't grant xp. I wonder if the new devs ever addressed that?
1- You just asking without read previous post in this thread?
4- Plague's Poison dmg is very poor, almost useless in Legendary, don't focus in it if you don't want to wasted. Just focus on any +%total/elemental/Lightning dmg or any bonus to Int number sources to boost Lightning Bolt dmg. Read my previous post about dmg formula to see how it works. If not, i have no interested to answer anything more.
Archon staff of Lightning should be give more Lightning Bolt dmg than Staff of RIme, except your game's bugs.
Except you still play with original TQ from 2006 or TQ-IT, it will be different because Poison dmg doesn't scale with Dex in it.
