Question? was trying to use Raging Sun Orb (adds fire DD) on clerics (metal players), this should add a good amount of Damage. Some reason it did nothing while trying it on a faction member, no extra dd w/ it. Can someone explain or direct me to the answer.

cleric was 100 and no skills used or weapon, got a nice steady 167 dd w/ and w/o potion?

    I believe that would only work on melee attacks.

    Lol.

    Its based on your weapon damage. No weapon = no additional damage.

    Additionally, classes dont have elemental weaknesses by default. They ony gain any through buffs or poor quality armor. (Most poeple will have the same defence for all elements, except wizards with an elemental shell up or Mystics with their self buff (Water/wood + Phy def? Im not sure) or similar.)

    This is correct.

    If a cleric did a few melee attacks, then used that pot, then tried a few more melee attacks, you'd see the difference. However, that pot will have no effect on magic attacks.

    Basically, that pot is for people who use melee or bow/crossbow/slingshot attacks.

    It works for pretty much any attack based off of your physical damage. Cleric plume shot doesn't count since its a physical attack based off of magical damage. Veno fox form attack skills should benefit though.

    I've had issues with it working on ranged physical attacks in the past.

    I plain up don't bother with it at all anymore.

    The veno fox form attacks (aside from Myriad Rainbow) are what I'd count as melee attacks, though.
