well actually u deal the most damage with your imbue. So a magical weapon might be better.

Well, actually, you deal both physical and magical damage, both multiplied by their balance value. Since you're pure int, your magical balance should be a lot higher than your physical balance, meaning each point of magical damage will do more damage than each point of physical damage. That's why you should use a sword, since the magical damage is higher than that of a blade, and the physical damage is lower.

Also important: after both are calculated, the magical/physical defense of your opponent is deducted from those values, so if your total physical damage is less than your opponents physical defense, you'll deal no physical damage at all. Same goes for magical damage.

Yes, but the skill multiplys ur imbue damage too. As ur imbue
has good damage u will do big damages with weapon skills.

You are not doing high damage because of ur physical damage. You
are doing big damage because of ur imbue that is magical damage.

If u dont believe me, do the skill without any imbue and u will
see it for urself.
