Question Pillar of the caged god

What’s the formula to calculate “wep damage per str”, and how is that compared to local phys on weps? Is that just a fancy way of saying it just multiples other non local form of added damage nodes?

Any information helps, seeing how it could compare with say 300 str/dex or some combo of the two.

It's a global "increased damage" additive with other sources such as on your tree.

So the wep itself won’t matter. As long as I scale flat somewhere it, it will be increased by my strength?

Yes if it works like PoE 1 I guess. Traditionally you'd get as many sources of flat damage on your rings/amulet/gloves. Unsure if there's any other ways in this game.

The only diff from poe1 is this is all damage types where as poe1 is purely physical. So potential much higher ceiling with light/cold/fire added right??
