    Trying to reproduce a bug, and finding it hard to tell what type of damage a monster is doing.

    It would be a great feature if the combat log showed the type of damage being taken, ie: physical, fire, moon, death, etc..

    If this is too much info for the casual player, perhaps including it in the Verbose combat logs would be possible? I enabled that option but unfortunately do not see the damage type there.

    The only way right now I can try and determine the type of damage, is by watching the visual effects (burning, red skull, lightning, etc).. but I hear the VFX may not match up with the damage type being done..so it's hard to tell.

    Example:

    Lich Mage attacks Echondas and hits, dealing 16 points of fire damage.
    Lich Mage attacks Echondas and hits, dealing 43 points of critical death damage.
    Lich Mage attacks Echondas and hits, dealing 8 points of physical damage.
    Lich Mage attacks Echondas and hits, dealing 32 points of death damage.


    PS:
    I am seeing some mobs do include extra info already, so it would be nice if this feature were extended:

    Kobold Brawler attacks Echondas and hits, dealing 178 points of critical damage from Kobold Brawler Knockdown Attack.

    Kobold Brawler attacks Echondas and hits, dealing 3 points of glancing damage due to armor from Kobold Brawler's Stun Attack.
