This is something I learned on ninja, ninjutsu only hits the magic vulnerable boss while your weapon skills damage either one.

    If you'd like to check this, you can do so by looking at any parse of any red mage on fflogs. Physical damage is shown in orange, magic in blue.
    Might wanna learn the difference between abilities and skills before you try to sound clever

    I've literally never heard anyone refer to OGCD skills as abilities, but if that's the intent I'll admit to be misguided. I've just always heard abilities and skills used interchangeably

    That works for other games, but not this one. The game refers to all combat actions that aren't tied to the global cooldown as "abilities".

    I'm referring to terms players actually use in conversation. Nothing in the game is called an "OGCD" but we know what that means. Either way, I don't care enough to argue that terms used in my circle of players isn't the same as yours further. I admitted that terminology might have been different, enjoy beating your dead horse if you choose to proceed.
