There are bows with +spell mods, these bows are useless because poison arrow and explosion arrow are not spells but attacks, so would only gain more dmg from +elemental dmg mods?

Explosive arrow (and infernal blow) are special cases.

While both these skills are attacks, the explosions are not dealing attack damage (the explosion isn't based on your weapon), but spell damage.

Elemental damage means elemental damage. If you have increased elemental damage then it will increase all the fire, cold and lightning damage you deal, regardless of whether it's with spells or attacks.



Spell damage refers to all damage dealt by spells, regardless of type.



For example, detonate dead is a spell which deals some physical damage - that would be increased by spell damage increases, but not by elemental damage increases.

Likewise, Glacial Hammer is an attack, not a spell, so none of it's damage is increased by spell damage increases, but since some of the damage is dealt as cold, that would be affected by elemental damage increases.



Not all elemental damage is dealt by spells, and not all spell damage is elemental.
