Item damage question

[senpai]

So this is a complete newbie question, I'm aware.  I don't remember this being in live when I played...so I have absolutely no idea how it works.  When I get a weapon or an item that has:

Fire DMG: 2

How does this factor into your damage output and how does it work vs. resists?

Thanks =P

it is a direct addition to the dmg of the weapon. so if you have a 14/28 weapon with +2 fire damage, it can potentially do 16/28 dmg. Yes, it can be resisted. So with High Fire resistant mobs, you'll really be using a 14/28 weapon. With low FR mobs you'll be using a 16/28 weapon.

Awesome, that is what I expect but I wasn't sure. Thanks for the explanation!
