i think they fixed it a couple patches ago, i remember reading something about it on the launch pad, just checked, pub 19 down at the weapons/damage notes it says "Elemental damage will now be applied to the target for weapons that have bonus elemental damage."

it does raise your dps if you have a banes heart/sunriders over a regular color crystal, but dps doesn't really matter from what im told.

well it can be a good benchmark of what you can do damgewie, but no DPS certainly is not a good determiner of damage as there are a lot of things it dosnt take into account. Thanks for the help though. As to elemental damage, i know they said they fixed, just wondering if anyone has tested it.

don't credit me to this not positive but i thought they figured the resists for elemental and added that onto the damage they would have gotten if the weapon just had its normal damage, no elemental...so if say, a weapon had 100 heat and the target had 50% resist on to heat, you'd hadd 50 damage to your normal mitigated damage.

exactly correct

2 things to remember about elemental damage

1) a persons DEFENCE (aura/COB/etc) doesnt mitigate it at all

2) your speciall attack modifier doesnt increase it at all

BUT it does work

ok that makes sense, so i would take taht to mean its not in the DPS calculation, so another reason that is somewaht useless

Thanks everybody

elemental is especially useful against mdefenders and mtk (for non jedi i'm talking about) because their high ranged or melee defense doesnt affect it.

Ok first off, is it fixed.

Secondly, i know it is not factored into your max or min damage, however, is it factored into your dps?

i see no difference with high elemental and with low elemental...i think it's there just to make you think it does something, but that is just my opinion
