According to the post by /u/FireDragon04 and the FAQ from the devs, blast damage is a non-elemental damage type done by things like frag grenade. So why does Storm have a component called Chaos Core that increases blast damage when it has no ability that qualifies
?
Took a look to validate this one with the designers.
Blast damage applies to AoE type explosions and therefore applies to the Storm’s AoE damage abilities.
So like lightning strike and burning orb get a 35% buff?
The charged up explosion on burning orb would yes. And yes lightning strike as well.
Do you know if physical damage means regular damage from guns? I have a mod that says -5% damage on physical damage...
Yes physical damage does apply to guns.
What does +speed inscriptions do?
Speed is usually referring to reducing cooldown recharge time, or “speeding up” cooldowns.
FYI I assume you've already heard this but these inscriptions are currently not working at all.
I've tested this with about 60% speed on an E ability with a 10 second cooldown and saw exactly 10 seconds cooldown with and without the + speed items.
I also tested "Support % speed", which doesn't change the support cooldown at all either. I'm not sure if this stat is meant to do that though since the word support is used in inscriptions to refer to other things like luck.
Yes this is an issue we’re looking into for stats that are globally applied (javelin icon) from items. Fix has been identified. Thanks for the detailed report hiya89!
So physical damage include impact+blast damage? Does it include interceptor melee blade? Thank you.
Think of impact or blast as the size of the effect (single target or AoE). While elements or physical are the damage type. With any combination of those depending on the ability. So you could have a physical blast or an electric impact, etc.
Does Blast Damage apply to Arc Burst? All other forms of blast damage that I can think of create a "blast", as in do some type of "explosion". This skill hits one target then chains to another, leaving me confused if this skill is actually blast damage or not?
No I don’t believe that it is blast damage. It’s effectively a chained single target damage skill.
