Is there any way to see how much of a specific elemental damage I deal?
In the character screen there is no mention of it, except for the increased amount, which is irrelevant if I deal 0 of the specified elemental damage.
Is this oversight intentional or is it intended? I hope the former 
No, you can’t see it at the moment. Mike was working on a reworked character screen that will give us the info we want but that all got pushed back by the work on mp.
Thanks for the clarification. Hope it will get fixed soon.
What i hate about LE is that it often does not show the base damage of skills or added damage / critchances. The game really needs more ingame informations for skills instead of just giving a DPS counter.
On epoch tools you often find the base damage of skills. Damage hit is caluclated by:
(base damage + added dmg) * (increased damage) * (more damage) * (more damage) * (…)
So actually having “added” or “more damage” are the most impactful stats. In the expanded tooltip you also find how much added damage increases the base damage.
Example:
- Spell has 15 Base damage
- Wand has +100% spell damage and +15 Spell base damage
- Skill has 150% efficiency on added damage (via tooltip)
This means: (15 + (15 * 1,5)) * (1 + 1) = 37,5 * 2 = 75
Now lets add some more items:
- belt, amulett, rings etc. are adding +400% spell damage
This means: (15 + (15 * 1,5)) * (1 + 1 + 4) = 37,5 * 6 = 225
Now you could have the option:
- Shall I get a better weapon with +20 base damage and +50% spell damage?
This means: (15 + (20 * 1,5)) * (1 + 0,5 + 4) = 45 * 5,5 = 247,5
As you can see this +5 spell base damage on a weapon are more impactful than “increased” +50% damage. So the more overall increase (either spell damage, elemental damage or specificall elemtal damage) you have the more important it is to have a good “base” damage to build on. But it is really a problem if you do not have the information what at least the base damage is. At least this could be added because currently you need so many external tools and hours of gameplay to underrstand the system ingame.

How is this not heavily upvoted. Nearly the first thing I noticed while playing the game is there’s no base damage given. I will add that the Game Guide is maybe half of the way done and I only had leveled to 40ish so far. Please make sure every single affix is listed, all mechanics should be explained, incoming and outgoing damage should be able to be written out as a formula preferably. Granted I assumed this was because it wasn’t fully released but I doubt it’ll be changed when I launch.
