Do gems have secondary effects

torchlight-2

Do elemental gems in Torchlight 2 have secondary effects other than direct elemental damage or elemental armor?

I am referring to poison, fire, ice and electric gem and try to understand which of them are better-

Best Answer

Each element has its own attack side effect, which has a chance to occur on each hit. Some of them are hinted at in the loading screen tips.

  • Ice attacks have a chance to Freeze, which slows down movement, attack, and cast speed by 33% for a few seconds.
  • Poison attacks have a chance to Poison, which reduces damage and all armor by 33%
  • Electric attacks have a chance to Shock, which causes the afflicted enemy to emit electric bolts that damage more enemies every time it is hit.
  • Fire attacks have a chance to Burn, which is fire damage over time that ignores armor.

Note that these all have a chance to occur on elemental attacks from any source, including skills. Elemental gems give you these effects only as a direct consequence of giving your weapon an additional elemental attack type.
