Explosive damage

Gameplay
1

As per the affix description, explosive damage are of 100% MH. Is it the 100% weapon DPS or 100 % damage with all modifications? is it different from primary damage? Another thing is there a way to show how much explosive dealt damage? because in my mobile it just show explode without damage. in the option i enable all damage. Thanks in advance.

Explosive has 5% chance to do % of MH DMG.

it has a cap of 2000%.

just think of Explosive as a Skill that has a 5% chance to happen. Explosive also has a 5% chance to cause Explosive, so it’s possible to cause a chain reaction.

it’s damage isn’t based on any Skills damage but on the same base damage the Skill uses.

example:

lets say after you figure out all possible damage for a Gauntlet is 10,000 damage. you have 20 points in Blast Skill which gives Blast 300% weapon damage (Blast 20 +100% DMG). Blast will do 30k damage to all enemies in a cone shaped AoE (I’m just taking Blasts damage bonus into consideration). one Explosion affix is 5% chance for +400% damage, so if there are 5 enemies, each takes 30k DMG with a 5% chance for each to Explode for 50k DMG, with each enemy in the Explosions AoE having a 5% chance to Explode for 50k DMG, until no more explosions.

Okay so, damage increase specific to primary or special skills won’t affect damage of explosives. But modifiers like glasscannon, barbarian, PTL etc will, and so elemental damage? Does anyone know how much AOE explosive has? And my previous question, is there a way to show explosive damage in numbers?

I don’t think all damage can be shown on the screen. if you use Poison and hit an enemy, the Poison DoT can have a chance to cause an Explosion, so you should see the damage from Poison DoT and Explosion if it happens.

Explosion has an AoE of a few yards, and I believe it’s effected by AoE affixes and Wizard Magnify Talent.

hope this helps.
