    Red Mage's physical dps skills?

    Hey, i'm just curious about some of the skills the Red mages is using. Some skills say they do physical DMG and that would mean the dmg is based on strenght right? However, i'm pretty sure all skills use int anyway, did anyone else notice something similiar?

    Damage type is not necessarily tied to a stat. See paladins and dark knights with their magic attacks.

    They do Physical damage if they aren't enhanced, so you shouldn't be using them if they are doing physical damage.

    Pretty much this. Rotation starts with casting to boost your white and black mana until you have enough for 1 rotation of chaining the three sword skills together on a single target, or the aoe cone attack 3 times (with some manafication in there to change things up). Otherwise, without mana, the sword based skills are mostly "meh".

    really? i thought the meele skills would do really low dmg without enough black and White mana but the damage is still based on int it seems, even if u do "phyisical dmg", i thought this might be a bug, because str is supposed to be used for weapon related damage, why seperating physical and magical skills if it is Magic based anyway, mabye i think too much about, i guess it doesnt matter anyway since indeed u wont use These withouz enhancements anyway
