This test was done on a full STR character, results for hybrid or full INT will be different.
I wanted to know what the difference was between the 3 imbue's, will a higher value magic attack differ alot on a full STR using physical skills? You're about to find out...
I was using:
Ice jade force lvl 1
Thundersky force lvl 1
Extreme fire force lvl 1
Soul-Spear Move lvl 7
I used this skill 30 times for every imbue, killing nothing but hyungo soldiers.
Average DMG
Ice jade force 954 - 96%
Thundersky force 972 - 98%
Extreme fire force 992 - 100%
Lowest DMG
Ice jade force 846 - 97%
Thundersky force 823 - 94%
Extreme fire force 874 - 100%
Highest DMG
Ice jade force 976 - 96%
Thundersky force 1001 - 99%
Extreme fire force 1014 - 100%
Damage per attack power
Ice jade force 15 - 125%
Thundersky force 14 - 117%
Extreme fire force 12 - 100%
Ok, well done, but what can I do with these results?
Let's take the lightning imbue with an average of 69 mag attack, and the fire imbue with an average of 83 mag attack.
As you can see the fire imbue has 14 mag attack more, and if we take a look at the raw data you will see that the lightning imbue conflicts 2% less damage than the fire imbue, which means that every 1 mag attack difference on the imbue's will give 0,143% more damage.
Now we take the lvl 45 imbue's, there is a difference of 30 mag attack. Now we multiply 30 with 0,143 which means the lvl 45 fire imbue is 4,29% weaker than the lvl 45 fire imbue.
Let's say a lvl 45 with a lvl 45 fire imbue does 2000 dmg on anything, this means he will do 1914 dmg or 4,3% less dmg with the lvl 45 lightning imbue.
A quick calculation made clear that a lvl 45 cold imbue will do 1868 dmg or 6,6% less dmg.
You didn't expect the difference to be that small did you? 132 less dmg on a total of 2000 dmg may look like alot, but you won't notice it!
So what are the pro's on each imbue except dmg?
Fire has a burn effect, the probability of the effect is 25%.
This dmg is so low, you wont notice any difference when fighting normal mobs.
Lightning has a parrio ratio decrease effect, the probability is 20%.
Parrio ratio decrease increases the chance of doing max dmg on a monster, so after the effect of lightning imbue you will probably do the same dmg as when using the fire imbue or even more!
Lightning has another nice feature, it transfers dmg to mobs next to the mob you are attacking.
The distance depends on the lvl of the imbue (seen here with a maximum transfers of 2.
The damage is very low, but it will give the other mobs the parrio ratio down effect!
Cold also has 2 effects, the first effect is the frost bite effect, this will cause the enemy to attack very slow, click here to see a movie.
The probability of this effect is 25%.
Cold' 2nd effect is freezing, this will cause the enemy to freeze (the enemy won't be able to move at all) for a few seconds, the probability of this effect is 5%.
Pretty cool, so which imbue should I choose?
The other skills your main imbue force brings will be very important, which one you want depends on your personal choice. Here are the facts of each imbue (for more info check this, this and this):
Cold:
Frost bite probability.
Freezing probability.
High physical defense becouse of defense buff and defense passive.
Frost nova series, freeze (50% probability) or frost bite (100% probability) up to 5 enemies at once.
Cold wave series, frost bite an enemy over a distance (100% probability).
Lightning:
Damage increasement becouse of parrio ratio decreasement effect.
Imbue up to 12% powerfull (more dmg than fire) with maxed Piercing series.
You will be super fast becouse of grass walk series.
You will have a high parrio ratio becouse of Concentration series and Heaven's Force passive.
Fire:
Burn effect, not that powerfull.
When using shield you can have abnormal status' effect decrease.
Physical damage up to 7% increased (up to 5% should be possible if you choose an other main force)
Higher magical defense becouse of fire protection series.
Even more physical damage increasement due to Flame devil force passive (up to 6% more).
As you can see you could give up just a little bit of power to have a very speedy character or one with a very high def, like I said before, it's your personal choice!
