(LL Discussion) Physical and Magical not distinguishable? UI can't implement it? Why?

[ADVSS]

But whether it's a weaponskill or a spell isn't guaranteed to be tied to the type of damage, but rather how it's handled in other parts of the combat system. RDM's Enchanted Moulinet, for instance, is a weaponskill (...I think?) but does unaspected magical damage, while the non-enchanted Moulinet—also a weaponskill—does physical. Because it is a weaponskill, you should still be able to use Enchanted Moulinet when silenced (provided you had enough black/white mana before getting silenced, anyway), but it will still do magical damage.

Pretty sure the RDM does magic damage because his weapon is set for magic damage(of course auto attacks might be different, but skills that are meant to scale with x damage type wont scale with the wrong damage type). Same reason why PLD had to get Clemency because his cross class Cure spell didnt scale with his weapon damage at all. As cheeky as it is, i am totally not surprised that RDM anything does "magic damage" because his weapon has the magic damage tag. As far as people complaining client side this client side that. If the "information" wasn't there to tell whether you got hit by physical or magical damage, then physical/magical cooldowns are either text flavored, or they work specifically and its not true, and/or they dont work at all and theyre just there as fluff skills on tanks
