Take the tour ×  For example, the item Tal Rasha's Adjudication
randomly has one of the following stats:    • Adds 5-6% to
Arcane Damage   • Adds 5-6% to Poison Damage   • Adds 5-6% to
Lightning Damage   • Adds 5-6% to Holy Damage   • Adds 5-6% to
Cold Damage   • Adds 5-6% to Fire Damage  In the case of, say,
poison: does the item give me +6% of my weapon damage (or total
damage) as poison? Or does it only add +6% to my current poison
damage (meaning if I have no poison damage, it does nothing)?
If it's the latter-case, does +20 poison damage on my weapon
affect this?  share|improve this question Related:
