Blu Carnival?

Off guard is a debuff you put on a target that increases all damage they take, Bristle is a buff on you that increases magic dmg you deal, and Whistle is a buff on you that increases physical damage you deal. Bristle and Whistle are mutually exclusive.

I think that's not true anymore.... Whistle and bristle are paired, one magic, one physical, that buffs you. But offguard is physical only and it's paired with off Pecular Light that's magic only, on the same cooldown now, or did I read something wrong?

Peculiar light - Increases magic damage taken by all nearby enemies by 5%. Recast timer cannot be affected by other spells. However, this action shares a recast timer with Off-guard.

I understood it that light was magic, and guard was physical, and the wording was just a bit strange? If they actually are basically just the same, what's the point in there being two of them? If offguard amplifies all kinds of damage, and light is only magic, but also has a worse range... is it just a trap?

off guard is mostly for single target (boss fights/special mobs) it got a massiv range and can be set from the backyard after avoiding mechanics f.e. - while peculiar light is a centered aoe what is most effektiv on DD-dng-rushing mime builds or tank builds. I think that's the main difference. its like the old sleep u need a target for (the one with the green icon) and the new one (purple icon) which is as well a centered aoe most likely for tanks or healers in an oh-shit-moments if they take aggro or the tank is going to fall soon cause of overmobbing f.e.

Hay, while I'm here, I want to make macros that convert all the on ground target, to ones that target the targeted ... target. Erruption, feather rain, bomb toss.... anything else? That is possible, right?

sure u can do that but consider that u don't even need to make them for every aoe skill cause the primal skills will share their recast timer as well maybe its a better choice to take eruption (30 sec cooldown - fastes primal cd) and ramuh/shiva over garuda/titan cause they don't need an aoe selection. feather rain needs all mobs to stand in the target area to receive the dot dmg what can be pretty nasty - out of carnival I rarely have that skill on my bar tho. (titan is nice in some situation its like shiva a cone aoe without a target, which means they can be used to weave in easily without selecting a target/area or using a macro for them).

but in the end like always - I wouldn't get used to use macros in generell sometimes they can help but living with the delays/chainproblems isn't fun - at least not for me ^^

You are mistaken. And you can test it yourself to see that Off Guard does increase the damage of magic attacks as well as physical.

Off-Guard: Increases target's damage taken by 5%. Recast timer cannot be affected by other spells. However, this action shares a recast timer with Peculiar Light.

It does not say "Increases physical damage taken". It just says "Increases damage taken". That means all damage. If it were only physical then the spell description would say so (and off-guard would probably be an aoe). It may be paired with Peculiar Light but PL specifically says "Increases magic damage taken" and it is aoe. The pairing is likely due to SE simply not wanting us to stack them both.
