What's the point of Physical and Magic Damage Types

[Kolsykol]

It's to separate what is a GCD and what is a OGCD.
Abilities for example are OGCD's, weapon skills are not.
You can know simply by reading the tooltip.

And Spells will only get buffed by certain cooldowns while Weaponskills by others.

Edit: And yes this isn't a medieval simulator, the attacks are very flashy I fail to see how this is a problem...
If you don't like it then there are medieval simulators or less flashy games you can play o_O.

It will tell you in the tooltip too what the damage type is too.
And on a visual level there needs to be some consistency and it's easier to make an attack more easily identified and appealing by making it flashy with a bunch of effects that looks '' magical ''.


Edit since maximum post for the day:

Does this forum have a reading comprehension problem because I consistently notice an inability to read what somebody has said and infer a completely different meaning from a post than what was actually meant.

I never said I dislike it I said it makes it difficult to distinguish magic from physical. Especially Warriors who can basically be considered geomancers but nothing that do to my understanding is counted as magical dmg.

Cmon lol, I think it's fair to think that you dislike it based on what and how you wrote about it.
People who don't dislike something doesn't talk about it the way you did.
