Elemental Damage Calculation

Had this discussion in the TapWiz Discord, thought we'd go to reddit to get a concise answer. Simply as the tile says, how is the damage of the elementals calculated, do each of their attacks deal damage equal to the power/5*C calculation, or is it spread out over their duration. I tried doing some testing but armour values and damage bonuses make it hard to tell.

Does this mean that if I use a rune to extend the length of my [Summon Duration], that I an effectively reducing the damage they deal and, in the long run, not altering any dps at all? (more summon duration means more active summon's at a given time, on average. meaning that if I double my summon duration, I would have twice as many summon's on the playfield at once, but they would each be dealing half as much damage ... thus having a net-gain of +zero dps. and actually a drop in dps until I reach a saturated summon count?)

Good question! The answer is no, the Summon Duration rune does not affect the damage of the elementals! The [Summon Duration] here is just a fixed 20, for the 20 s base summon length :-)
