Element pairs

Frost + Storm: Freeze, then stun

A frozen enemy takes 25% more damage and cannot move. Storm hits stun on top of that, so a pack that stands still is a pack your area weapons cannot miss.

Void + Fire: Curse, then burn

A cursed enemy takes 25% more from every source, burn ticks included. Put the curse on a boss first, then let fire work.

Venom + Blood: Stack the ticks

Burn, poison and bleed share one tick every half second and they add up. A target with all three takes 7.5 damage per tick on the first floor. Bleed is stronger while the enemy moves.

Holy + Bone: Bosses and bruisers

Holy shooters deal 50% more to elites and bosses. Bone shots knock back, which keeps tough melee monsters off you while holy damage works on them.

Frost + Fire: Both ways work

Frost slows what it does not freeze, fire keeps ticking. Together they cover crowds that run at you and tanks that do not.
