fire wall and crystal wall question

[pirate74]

i have a question..since fire is more mana efficient against magic, and ice is against physical...

does an imbue count as magical?
like lets say i fight a pure str with a fire imbue..would that be magical damage or physical damage?

[JeSsi3JaiJai]

imbue is a magical dammage, but if u r pure str imbue wont add much damage, for pure int, imbue helps alot...

wrong
str need fire imbue
fire imbue = physical attack +++++

How does fire imbue add physical attack?
I believe you mean the fire buff (forget which one) increases physical attack.
TBH I think light is a really good imbue for str glavie (for pve-ing) lightning transfer transfers the effect. So you can stun multiple mobs at once.

i believe your right and i mixed em up

anyways what i meant is the ph atk % of the passive
and that the flame imbue is strongest imbue


right?

My theory

If you fight a pure STR using fire imbue, and you used fire wall
the damage of his physical attack will ignore the fire wall, and the fire wall will absorb the imbue damage.

Or...
If a pure str has 90% phy balance and 30% mag balance, the firewall will absorb 30% of the damage, and you take 90%


Another theory
If you are a pure str with 90% phy balance and 30% mag balance
maybe only 30% of the magic attack of imbue will add up to your overall damage.
if this is true then wouldnt an equal phy and mag balance would be stronger? or just the same?[/quote]

Ok pardon my noobishness but wtf is imbue?

[pirate74]

i sorta get it...basicly use fire wall vs pure int and crystal vs pure str and you take the least amount of damage..right?

also..would anybody answer the question that the fire wall and crystal walls are any use?
