  • The increased elemental effect chance applies multiplicatively to the elemental effect chance of the weapon currently wielded. If a weapon has a 25.0% chance of applying its elemental effect, the +200% increased chance at Rank 5 will give the weapon a 75% chance of applying its elemental effect.
