Shield Throw not scaling with fire damage% properly

[Gallantis]

My character has 345% increased fire damage and 90% increased physical, when I spec into Molten Shield which converts Shield Throws base damage to fire, my tooltip only showed an increase of 200 dps, I tested my dps before and after on a dummy and this dps increase shown on tooltip seems to be accurate

Molten Shield only converts the skill’s base damage (40 phys) to fire, any other added phys damage doesn’t get converted. Probably not a bug (unless you can give me the specifics for me to work it out, Last Epoch Build Planner)

don’t think it’s a bug. it say’s the gets converted, which I assume is a small flat value as Llama8 pointed out.

what they intended I think with Molten Shield spec in the grander scheme, is to allow you to have access to ignite/fire damage scaling, which is complementary with Light of Rahyeh in the Paladin ascendancy, Walls of Solarium in Force Guard to name a few. Also holy Aura, Sigils of Hope and allows you to make use of Smite idols that trigger Smite on hit with throwing attacks. Smite is a Fire based skill.

also worth noting that Penance on Pala gives bleed and unique gloves Maehlin’s Hubris can convert bleed to ignite. Also uniques such as Soulfire and Calamity will effectively double your dps if you convert the Shield Throw to fire dmg.
