When a mob or hits you one can read: mob dealt x dammage. I think it should be: mob deal x type dammage. where type will be physical,fire,water,etc.

That way you can prepare better for the next encounter!

    It's not too hard to figure out what type of damage your taking. All melee mobs and archer mobs will deal physical damage, regardless of what element they fall under. All magic casting mobs will deal damage according to their element. So, for instance, a magic mob with the metal element will be hitting you with metal damage, while a fire element caster will be dealing fire element damage. Just keep your eyes open for how the enemy attacks, and what element it is, and you'll be able to tell what type of damage you're taking.

    Yeah, but a magic casting mob who doesn't have an element actually does physical damage. I found that out the hard way X.X

    I always found that to be odd myself. I always assumed that a mob that had an element would be magical - whereas ones without elements were non-magical. And then I saw a non-elemental mob with "increased magic attack"b:shocked.
