What's the point of Physical and Magic Damage Types

[KageTokage]

They really need to indicate in the combat log what type of damage an enemy's attacks are dealing for mitigation purposes as well as mechanical clarity. Earth attacks in particular can be rather variable about whether or not they're flagged as physical or magical damage.

Another strange thing I realized only recently is that RDM's Fleche/Contre Sixte are specifically flagged as ranged physical damage and thus will get affected by associated mechanics like Leviathan's reflect shields.
