What the hell is "gloom damage" and why isn't it documented?

It's also on the Telos Spire, but that's still not much use to an Archmage.

That mean your proc damage (i.e: "Damage when the wearer hit (melee): 10 cold") is raised by 4% for every accuracy point you have.
As you can get 50 accuracy pretty easily with 5 point in the combat training tree, that mean with a staff you get +50*4% damage =+200% damage on those proc (i.e: our 10 cold do now 30 damage).
On a tree with shadow combat, or by looking for small +10 item, you can get proc in the +50 damage range. Now +150 with a staff equipped. A telekinetic weapon with aura raised and conduit can do great damage if it is a staff, thanks to the "4.0% dam proc /acc"

Although, isn't that only for every accuracy point you have OVER the target's Defense?

for the record, Gloom damage's name will make sense next version.
