the details don't make sense. especially to those who play other RPG, this could get confusion.

for example - fire element 2 hand sword with 180 atk.

does 180 dmg (assuming 0 armor) on neutral element creature.
does additional 75% on earth element creature.

in D3 it's like "Screw that!! we just lump elemental damage into DAMAGE" - like that then what's the point of switching from one element to another?

no la. elemental is just for you to decide what color you want the enemy corpse to be.

poison = green
arcane = purple
fire = red
ice = white

so on so forth ...........

srsly mang, i donno if my monk holy element rune actually does more damage on any creature.
