I'd like to know how much water dmg deals a weapon "imbued" with frostblade buff cause the tooltip of lv10 skill says "Giving your normal attacks extra Water dmg equal to 30% of your base magic attack"

is it true? cause if it was, i have 7500-8300 mag attack in my character info, this mean 30% of that value is near to 2400

but obviously i DONT deal that more water damage with my normal melee attacks lol

there is a formula or something to know exactly whats the damage increase? cause neither the damage log state it.


ps. i wrote a suggestion on a new wizard lv79 skill instead of manifest virtue lv100 skill, here:

    It was discussed multiple times around here and the conclusion is that it add a percentage base on equipment physical attack of the one who receive the buff. Your magic attack affect nothing.
    This makes sense otherwise a level 1 archer can one-shot a level 20barb with this buff from a level 100 wizard.

    oh this makes sense... but you see the damage increase on the damage log? or you cant see it?

    for example, i usually deal 1000 dmg and i got 3000 physical attack, with that buff, i see on screen 1900 dmg? or i always see 1000 dmg and the +900 dmg is hidden?

    edit: i tried by myself, unbuffed i deal 460-640 per hit, buffed i deal 420-710 per hit... id really like to know whats the formula behind this tooltip-bugged skill

    its work only with melee autoattack (like fist archer,assassin,bm,barb autoattack)
    this buff dont appear in character info same like Blazing Arrow(archer)/ Poison Fang (barb)/Drake's Breath Bash(fist bm)

    but in damage log u can see the damag difference, so if u are example a fist bm and u ahve 1k eq dmg then u get +30% eq dmg so will be ur dmg(when u autoattack then its ur base dmg what is more than ur eq dmg[what was 1k])+300water dmg

    yea i unserstand now, but it isnt 30%... cause if it was, my dmg should NOT be 710 after buff (640 dmg without buff)... it should be like 30% of 640 = 192 dmg more water damage, so 840 instead of 710 -.-

    You forgot a few things:
    1. It is base off equipment damage, so that 30% should not apply on the damage you dealt without buff.
    2. Bonus damage get reduced by water resist, try attack a chicken, it had almost 0 resist, and only level 1.

    It's not based off of your base physical attack. It's based on your weapon damage, and weapon damage only.

    So, 30% of the average value of whatever it says next to Physical Attack on your weapon.

    hmm it works calculating in this way... but if i cast the buff on a bm for example, it give 30% of HIS weapon base physical dmg or MY weapon base physical dmg?
