Is this frostblade skill calculated by target physical attack or my own base magic attack ?

    After many trials and calculations i got to the conclusion that it:

    Adds to EACH SINGLE MELEE/RANGED NORMAL HIT a water damage equal to 30% of the TARGET's WEAPON PHYSICAL ATTACK.
    ...


    It is one of the skills for Wizard to enjoy game.

    I left it at level 2 because of it's usefulness for Wizard (I used it once per last few months - yesterday, when had been asked for "water buff") .

    I always thought it was xx% of your base magic attack (Magic attack WITH NO WEAPON EQUIPPED) which is actually very low and based on Mag points.

    Magicsaber is right, it adds damage based on the weapon of the person with the buff. So level 10 frostblade gives the same bonus reguardless of your weapon/magic points etc etc It is really only useful to help physical classes stun lock through expel.. or for chi (lvl 11 frostblade gives 20 chi.. as opposed to levels 1-10 where it gives 10chi per cast). The damage increase is mediocre at best.

    Compare Frostblade with an Archer's Blazing Arrow for the best understanding of how it works. They are rather similar, work similarly and they stack.

    lvl 10 Blazing gives 40% fire damage for 10 mins.
    Sage Blazing gives 60% fire damage for 15mins.
    lvl Frostblade gives 30% frost damage for 15mins.
    Sage Frost gives 40% for frost damage 30mins.

    Archers normally do phys + fire damage. Would I also like to add additional water? Yes.

    Keep in mind this % water damage is calculated with my weapon vs the opponents m def, much like how Blazing Arrow is calculated. So the damage is definitely helpful on HA/LAs, every little bit helps.



    tl;dr: Cast Frostblade on Archers/Barbs/BMs/Seekers/Sins and I guess Venos (some use fox attacks right?).
