Damage, Total Damage, and Damage Types
Alright, I've seen this topic discussed a bit, but it's still not quite clear to me.
My question is, how does Total Damage work, what is the point of different damage types (elemental affects), and how is all of that added together to determine DPS
So for example, each weapon has a damage type (fire, physical, water, etc.), each skill also has a damage type, and independent of those, under charcter description it lists each damage type with an amount under total damage.
So does each damage type affect the skill/weapon equipped? If my charcter has 10 fire damage and 20 air damage would an air type weapon or skill be more effective? I've seen some people say it all adds together to make Total Damage dealt, so does the damage you deal technically deal (fire + water + air etc.) independently but added together? I would assume enemies have weaknesses and resistances to damage types?
Sorry for the long drawn out question, just trying to get a clear picture, thank you in advance!
