I’ve been playing elemental nova, volcanic orb, and black hole all with the fire mods and spec. When I hover over the spells they say they scale win Fire damage, and spell damage but only elemental nova scales with elemental damage. Wouldn’t volcanic orb and black hole also scale with elemental? Is this an oversight OR is all Fire/cold etc scale with elemental naturally?

We're removing the Elemental tag from Elemental Nova in Patch 0.7.7 as it's been causing confusion.

To clarify, Fire Damage, Cold Damage, and Lightning Damage are all considered to be Elemental Damage, and thus skills dealing one of those damage types will scale with Elemental Damage. +100% Increased Fire Damage and +100% Increased Elemental Damage would be equally good for a Mage casting Fireball, even though it is tagged as Fire but not tagged as Elemental.
