How impactful/different are elemental damage imbuements compared to physical/regular damage?

Question

ok, hear me out, first I know that elemental damage arrows like flaming arrow avoid missing the elemental damage part, so you always do at least the elemental damage even if you miss a shot, but what I wasn't expecting is that to apply on elemental imbuements, because that's a lot of an improvement for paladin and I haven't find the time to prove it myself, so I want to know if anyone have more clear information about this.

Keep in mind that any other info about elemental imbuement damage is also well received, for example I was hunting with my friend at grim reapers, he was using bow with powerful scorch and i could swear he was melting them, like more than 70% of his damage was fire and that doesn't seem right.

Disclaimer: elemental imbuement in diamond arrow don't work and burst arrow have capped damage so for paladin specifically I would love someone who knows about their impact in target hunting/pre 150.

Hey I'm having trouble understanding your subject title do you mean how do elemental imbuements work with damage?

yeah it could be but what i want to know is how much damage difference does, because I'm thinking it also avoid missing attacks and other features that aren't taken into account regularly but I can't prove it yet.

Great question! Is there a way you can improve the question title? I don't want to edit it and have it not be what your asking.
