    Mob and player eledefs are effectively the same, a final number that affects ele damage.



    Raw eledefs are added and then multiplied by the total % eledef. Works just like health regen/health regen%.

    Eledefs are a flat addition/reduction to damage of that element.

    Negative eledef extra damage is unaffected by defense (true damage).
    str/dex affect the extra damage!



    Spell multipliers and weapons' attack speed modifier affect eledef damage from spells.
    A water damage meteor from a super fast wand against a mob with -100 water defense would do

    100 x 5 (spell mult) x 4.3 (attack speed modifier) = 2150 extra damage


    while a water damage meteor from a super slow wand against the same mob would do

    100 x 5 x 0.51 = 255 additional damage.




    It goes both ways. If the mob had positive 100 water defense, you’d lose that much damage instead of gaining it.




    So do they matter?
    no

    For your own eledefs- only if you end up with some seriously painful negatives in your build. The eye can absolutely shred bad eledef builds with its arrow storm and meteor, for example. However, they should never be the top priority or something you focus on first. You should look at eledefs last and tweak a build if they’re a problem.

    When it comes to mob eledefs, good builds will usually just power through with pure damage, but if you find yourself walled out by a boss, it might be a good idea to find an alternative weapon.

    hey saya i think you should recolor the "eledefs" in the thumbnail to include the two 1.19 elements light and dark!!!!! i think that that would be very fitting as they are elements in wynncraft!!! mobs even have defense to them so they are very important!!!!

    Shameless Ain build thread plug (this post was sponsored by the Druser Elemental Defense association™)

    Some specifics on Ele def % behaviour -
    Having more than 100% Ele Def will not flip your elemental defense from negative to positive, it'll just set it to 0.

    Having more than -100% Ele Def (more as in more negative) will flip your elemental defense from Positive to negative.
    (Referring to Ele def % in a certain element, not in all elements combined)

    Sayaduck less-than-yearly uploads ???

    yeah that's how % generally behaves (see: hpr) as long as it isn't spell%/spell raw or melee%/melee raw or spellcost or ele damage/rainbow raw (hahaha) or

    hmm maybe i should have said which ones do instead of which ones don't.

    2 things,:
    1 what happens when negative eledef+negative %eledef
    2 when saying flat reduction does this mean that strength gets multiplied before or after substracting eledef?

    1. the negative becomes more negative (hpr works the same way, bit weird but also makes sense at the same time until you see the flip cases, wanted to make something more comprehensive on this if i ever get to it)
    2. after, see the case with eledef bonus damage being increased by str
