Can anyone confirm to me that Riven Mods w/ips dmg work like Madurai?

As if one has the 30% slash passive for it and something like the amprex has an extra 30% added damage as slash.

no amprex is strictly elemental / damage cant add slash / puncture / impact from my knowledge

Given there isn't any Riven stat with additive damage, Amprex cannot have IPS added with any current mods.

[AerinSol]

aww.

Region Chat is full of liars.

In the early days of Damage 2.0, adding a damage type that wasn't already on a weapon added that damage directly, but it made a few weapons pretty overpowered that had low base damage. And they nerfed all the IPS damage mods while they were at it. 

Since then, mods which effect IPS damage types do nothing if the weapon doesn't have it. They'll obviously show up on Riven mods because stats are completely random regardless of the weapon.

you mean focus?

unless anything changed recently, yes, it should be adding selected ips damage types to non-ips weapons. I hear that it even works with some abilities.

If you ask if mods can further increase that damage... I was wondering about that myself recently, but I just don't know, not even an idea on how to test it.

Acording to the Wiki though, it says " Work off base weapon or ability damage, giving full effect and physical damage even to elemental based weapons like Ignis", so I belive that Madurai's passives can add slash, pucture and impact damage as they should normally, and it also says that it is affected by mods that increase base damage (Like Serration).

Personally I haven't tested this, so take it with a grain of salt, but this info says that it should work.

Madurai adds physical damage to weapons that don't have it already built in?

Well, there would be no reason to put that in the Wiki if it didn't work, as it's not what you'd intuitively expect.

Time to work on Madurai, looks like Nekros wielding a slashing Secura Lecta could be a thing after all, $$$$!

To everyone wondering about Madurai, yes it does. It's how people that took salt with the Caustacyst charge attack FIX put back the slash damage but reduced.
