I find that mine is extremely low. 118 when im lvl 29. reg gun powder does a little over 200 dmg. my str is in the 90s, int in 80s. in the process of trying to go mostly int, yes i know my character will probably be quite a mess. but i mean i wear armor, and im trying to understand why its so bad and if i can do anything to help it. its probably just because im a hybrid, but figured i would ask.

gun powders do mag.dmg as far as i know
the same level earth ghost should do less dmg (thats phy dmg)

ah ok. yea earth ghost doesn't do much. that explains why. well thanks alot.

you're gonna need garment for the earth taoist charm quest or you will be spending alot of money for HP pots

thanks for the heads up. i have been attacked by them and yes, its followed by me yelling ahhhhh and being burnt. they hurt.

when i was level 43 i did a little test of garment vs armor

foudn the best set of armor i could, same +'s as my garment set, al lthe same levels

against maong - physical attack

garment took the hits ok, it was about 180 dmg per hit i think, now, along with the speed and MP use reduction, levelling was fine, fairly quick to get about.

Armor took more damage strangely, at least 200 per hit, i was runnign a hell of a lot slowrr, even with supremegrasswalk skills, and my MP par dissappeared after one combo.

i was appalled at it and instantly switched back to garment. so, i think overall, what build you do also affects how well each set works.

all is a mystery

Are you sure maongs do physical? I noticed they seem to shoot a little fireball for their attacks, I think they might be magic.

i've never seen this attack. maongs are purely physical. they have a double-tap w/ their two front legs, and a single attack w/ their stingers.

Maongs are physical.. i'm not sure if they have a magic attack, been so long since I fought one.

But yeah, all physical builds go garment at one point. You realize you're burning mana way too fast without it and you're moving too slow to level at a good pace. Most int builds do as well because nukes tear through your mana pool like nothing. So all in all, garments are by far the suit of choice ( though you may want to keep a garment & armor set for pvp situations.. )

well i decided to go protector. the taoist dmg dropped around 100 i believe. my phys def hardly dropped though suprisingly. i may go to garment but middle of the road may work better for me.

Do you use the fire buff which reduces magical damage? When it is active you get a little flame animation and sound effect every time something hits you.

I guess that's it
I sometimes mistakenly turn it on when i swip 67980 with my fingers i acenditally hit 5.
Hope I didn't sound too noob-ish

lol don't worry about it. i love casting harmony therapy when i try to res someone because i am stubborn and keep them next to each other on quick select.

and i ended up switchin to garment. protector did help alot but i still ran through lots of pots. not that i don't know, but 10k per 50 makes me want to use them as little as i can.
