How Does Strength Work?

if i put for example 30 points into strength and have +25% damage because of it
does it apply on other elemental damages?
meaning , if i am supposed to deal 10 water damage will i deal 12.5 instead?

 

I believe it is to effect neutral damage, but I don't know if it effects elements or not. But hey thats why theirs a wiki right?

 

....I can't find...

 

Each skill has it's own elemental dmg it buffs.
I'm pretty sure that strenght is earth dmg

 

it also affects poison dmg. confirmed by a mod

 

Strength increases three stats: Neutral damage dealt, Earth damage dealt, and Poison damage dealt. Having a 25% boost to strength means that you would deal 25% extra neutral damage, 25% extra earth damage, and 25% extra poison damage.

 

can you please tell me more about the other perks:
agility, intelligence, dex and defence.

 

None, water damage increases Heal strength, none, and none.

 

ty for the info
does that also mean that if i am using inferno , that only has fire damage strength will be nearly useless? because it will only effect smoke bomb and poison :(
and does thunder work in the same way? (dexterity) or will it double all of my damage?

 

A critical hit doubles all damage from one hit.

 

So the question is this: Do strength and dexterity affect elemental damage besides earth and thunder.

What I'm reading of the answer to the question: Yes.

Example: If I have a weapon that does 100 thunder/water/fire/agility damage, and +25% damage from strength, then the weapon will do 125 thunder/water/fire/agility damage. (This works the same way with dexterity except with doubling damage done by each element)
