we did get an "all saber moves have increased damage" in publish 19 so this is prolly the more damage you see... but hte elem damage should show up in your combat window...

Going to have to run home and grab my sunriders, you certain you are getting a 30% and more increase on all your attacks? Not one of the people i was grinding with last night saw any noticable difference in attacks, well except for the one player that was mp. He is now outdamaging all of us.

im confused? do we aim to get a crystal that does elemental dmg that the person doesnt have on their armour or do we need a crystal that does dmg that they have resistance to on their armour to lower it.

I'm going to do some testing when the servers come back up. I believe the elemental damage im getting is only about 10-15% of my regular damage instead of 25-30% minimum like it is supposed to be. Something is just not adding up.

Keep in mind guys that the combat spam BEFORE publish 19 was adding the elemental damage, but you weren't ACTUALLY hitting that hard... it was always lower than what it said.
Now what you're doing in the combat spam *IS* what you're hitting. If it's the same as before, trust me it's not... you *ARE* all hitting harder now.

Guys please be a little more informed before posting here. Before the patch, elemental dmg was in the combat log, but the actual dmg didnt "hit" the opponent, and the Health he lost was without elemental dmg. Therefor you wont see it in your combat logs, these should still be the same, the actual dmg should just hit him now.

The problem everyone is seeing is this:
Elemental Damage is not affected by the regular damage modifier on the special used if the damage modifier is greater than 1.0. If the regular damage modifier is less than 1.0, the elemental damage is scaled down by the appropriate modifier.
So what happens instead is your base elemental damage, which is 25% or 30% of your saber's max damage, is simply added onto your damage output, unless you use an attack with a damage modifier less than 1.0, like Improved Armor Break for example. With IAB, the elemental damage is scaled down by the damage modifier.
I have added this to my Bug list and has been posted.

I've had no problems withelemental damageand I switch color crystalabout every 4-6 lairs to get some diversity. The damage on the basic saber attack has increased but whether it's due to all the saber attacks getting a damage boost or if it's elemental damage that has kicked in I cannot say. However, the combat spam log seems to be consistent with the yellow damage numbers above the MoBs when you hit them, so I reckon elemental damage is working just fine.
At least for me

Weapons in the new CU are borked period. Every weapon has amin and max damage level and yet every time you hit a single creature with the same attack over and over the numbers do not change. IF weapons were working properly there would be a variance of numbers no matter what attack you use, but there isn't.

If you want the damage displayed in your combat log to see the numbers, go into your settings and check verbos combat messeges

I am using the teal crystal you get from the vill. I have noticed a slight damage increase from patch 19, but I am not seeing any elemental damage in my logs. So, I believe I am seeing a damage increase from the addition points added to specials, but am not sure I am seeing any elemental damage.
