| My DH is primarily a cold build, I use Freezing Bolas as my primary, currently at 37% increase. Freezing Bolas (cold based) Polar Station (cold based) Rain of Vengeance (cold based) I just got my Rucksack, boosting me to 5 sentries, still waiting on the shoulders/chest for Marauder set. Anyways I digress. I have a set of Frostburns: * Cold skills deal 14% more damage * 750 Dexterity * 668 Vitality * +100 Resistance to all Elements Secondary: * Ranged and melee attackers take 1958 damage per hit * Your chill effects have a 41% chance to freeze instead of slow. With the Frostburns equipped, my damage is at 1,380,182 With the Magefists (on current profile) equipped, my damage is at 1,608,608. So whats the difference? With everything set up for cold, why does 1% fire over cold and less dexterity up my damage by almost 300K? Sorry for any confusion, its a normal state for me. PS: if anyone has any ideas on how I can upgrade my character, feel free to suggest. | ||

The damage total on your character sheet does not factor in elemental damage, which is why you're seeing the difference. There is a way to look at your damage after being adjusted for elemental damage, though, and it's pretty easy to find once you know where to look. If you open up your character sheet in game you'll notice a Details section just below your Damage, Toughness, and Healing stats. Click on that, and you'll see a whole new pane open up with more information about your character. The top section of that pane is dedicated to Offensive stats, and at the bottom of that section is where you'll find your elemental damage. Just hover your mouse over the elemental stat in question, and you'll see a new total damage calculation for that elemental type. It should give you a better idea of what your actual damage is for your build. | ||
