Each different types of damage deal special bonus effects in Diablo III, and have different bonuses when they occur with [[critical hit]]. These effects are known to work on monsters: how much this will translate to damage dealt to players, from [[PvM]] or [[PvP]], is unknown.
See the [[combat]] page for more details.
