What's the point of Physical and Magic Damage Types

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

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.

If it says "deals x aspected damage" then its magic damage. Otherwise physical.

Doesn't do anything outside Eureka and Bozja anymore. They used to have piercing, blunt, and slashing damage buffs on enemies which have been removed, and Bard used to have one of its abilities reduce enemies magic defense.

So its just flavor.

The only thing that matters is incoming damage types, usually raidwides and tank busters, and that doesn't say. Experimentation is what helps you figure that out.
