Physical attribute as a mage element? - Abysseon - 2012-04-08
Doc Wrote:Does anyone know Illusions element now?
Before anyone goes off on a tangent, I've noticed that on Empress Cygnus, I don't hit max with illusion until I use Elemental reset. This means it has to have some sort of element.

Wondering if the other Resets are the same. Phantom could take advantage of it and not have to deal with a 50% damage reduction on all its attacks on those bosses as well but that's for another time to think about.
I had similar results with magic claw, magic bolt, and teleport mastery.

So for anyone playing kms, could you see if this works for phantoms?
Also, would it be possible to add an Element category for all neutral skills in future mage extractions and
list them under Physical?

Any neutral skills, meaning, skills without elements, be they mage skills or not (so, by this I mean, basically, the skills of every other class), are classified by the physical element, and reduced by bosses that are physical resistant.
I think this is a nice find, though, I'm not sure if Phantoms can steal elemental decrease.

Always thought that mage skills didn't apply to being physical attacks.
I wonder if they can make elemental decrease a party skill...

They're not really physical attacks, really, but they're of the physical element. There's a difference, though a very confusing one.
You might find this thread more helpful than me.

They can.
I doubt nexkr know this even happens though, lol. Not to mention it would f'uck paladins up pretty hardcore.

wait, so paladin attacks only get halved at empress, instead of 1/4th?
edit: derp, read thread.

Is it worth it compared to combo though?

I dunno, they're already screwed over twice since they use a P attack with elemental buffs on it and lose damage twice. Can't hurt to cancel both those out on Empress.
