Magical Skills Damage VS Physical Skill Damage

[inhaleyoursoul]

I would just like to ask if magical damage stack with physical damage on a single hit, and not just the effect of the magical skills.

Meaning if I am to cast a weapon skill say Bow Skill, it would do 1000/hit. But if I imbue it with a Force, the damage will increase to 1300-1500/hit. Or will it stay the same at 1000/hit but will only take the Force effect like burn or slow. (disregard critical)

Is it like this: (all numbers are hypothetical)

Weapon: 500
Weapon Skill: 500
Fire Imbue: 200

Weapon+Weapon Skill+Fire Imbue= 1200? or 1000?

or if Fire Imbue: 800, then will it disregard skill damge and be = 1300?


I am a bow/str/fire 20+. And I already have my Skills as high as possible, thanks to farming, but i dont see much difference in my single hit damage with/without the Force imbue except for the effect of burn.

the imbue will be calculated on top of the weapon skill
lets take a nuker with spear,at lvl 40 without imbue he would probably do about 500 or less
with 1500-3000(based on what i've seen)
so yes it is weapon skill damage + imbue

It's also different for builds. A pure INT player will hit much less without imbue than a pure STR player does, but hits more with it. So it's not that simple.

just always imbue ur attk skills is all i can say

fire>light>ice

It works like this(made up numbers)

no skill or imbue=100dmg
no skill+imbue=150dmg
skill but no imbue=200dmg
skill+imbue=300dmg

the point i am making is that the damage increase by using a skill also effects imbue damage.

imbue damage increases when you use a skill, compared to when you dont use a skill.
