Elemental Hit is an attack skill, executing a basic attack with added damage of a random element. An Elemental Hit may be performed with any weapon, or with no weapon equipped.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Dual Wielding: Using Elemental Hit while dual wielding will alternate the weapon used for attacking.

Elemental Damage: Each of the three damage types is increased by "weapon elemental damage" and "elemental damage" passives and item mods. Additionally, fire, cold or lightning damage passives and mods will boost the damage of only that respective type.

Random Damage Type: The unique threshold jewels Combat Focus can be used to exclude elements from being chosen.

Only Deals Damage of the chosen Element: All three elements are present on the gem when in comes to damage conversion, the selection of an element happens afterwards and does not retroactively change the results of conversion.[1]
