The new Element System
Starting from Level 20 you will get Elements Points each level which can be assigned to the element of your choice.
- 2 pts each level from 20~39
- 3 pts each level from 40~49
- 4 pts each level from 50~59
- 5 pts each level from 60~85
This is a total of 240 points.
You can assign a maximum of 100 points per element. Each of these points represent 5 element damage and resistance of the particular element if you have a a damage/resistance rate of 100%. Each player starts with a base damage and resistance rate of 50%. The rates can be increased with elemental gear (accessory, weapon, armor), the element booster items and from the socket cards.
The stats can be shown as "Element Rate Points" like "Fire Element Damage Rate +1" where each "point" represents additional 5% or it is shown in an absolute percentage value like "Fire Element Resistance Rate +5.0%". This way you can increase the damage and resistance of the particular element over 100%.
Against PvE monsters a multiplier is used to strengthen the elemental damage effect. This multiplier starts with 5.0 for a Level 20 char and ends up with 2.4 for a Level 85 char. The multiplier decreases due to the increased base damage/resistance due to the assignment of the points.
To assign the points a new button has been added similar to the "new stats" button you are used to from level 60+:
The points can be assigned to the element of your choice:
