Talk:Damage Types

I think taurus type mobs are weak to blunt as well. Monks were destroying these type mobs like no tomorrow when I recalled XP-ing in Ulegaurd Range on them. --Ayrlie 11 August 2006, 19:05 (CDT)

i think beetles may be resistant to blunt damage. either that or they just have such ridiculous evasion. The reason i say that is that Bludgeon is blunt damage, and it will normally do ~100 damage on IT mobs. but i wasnt getting more than 90 on beetles. Could just be their def too.

Someone needs to edit the page and tables. H2H gets half the bonuses (and I believe half the penalties as well) as Blunt damage. E.g. H2H does 12.5% more damage to bones whereas Blunt does 25% more. --Armando 18:14, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

And here's the proof:
Stats, etc.
Max H2H damage on a neutral mob (51)
Max H2H damage on skeletons (57)
floor(51 * 1.125) = floor(57.375) = 57 --Armando 19:04, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

Oh, and Beetles aren't weak to H2H/Blunt. Just double-checked to be sure. 51 damage on my highest crits on them, just like bats. --Armando 22:34, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

Swords and BLU

Tuck(bilbo) does not do piercing damage, neither does small sword (not sure what type of sword it is)

I don't play BLU but i know that Physical BLU spells have a damage type also, head butt and bludgeon are blunt screwdriver is piercing, claw cyclone is slashing. Could any BLU start a section for this?

Hmm, good idea. I'll make one of those right now. --Kyrial 17:16, 2 December 2006 (EST)

I tested some bilbos and none of them were piercing either. Removing it from the list until someone can at least produce a claim of a bilbo doing piercing damage. --Releena 03:03, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

The Blue Magic section is wrong as well...Bludgeon is H2H, not Blunt, for example. Refer to VZX's FFXI Doc for the correct types. --Armando 10:18, 4 June 2007 (CDT)

Avatar Damage Types

I seriously dissagree with this section, i think that the normal attacks are no alignment and i think that this requires more testing

   -Iciiroson: Carbuncle-

The information in the section is correct; standard avatar attack are indeed blunt damage. It's most evident in the Apollyon SE area, where certain enemies are immune to blunt damage - they take 0 damage from regular avatar attacks. --Setesh 14:24, 10 January 2007 (EST)

Imps

Fighting imps with Joyeuse equipped, my maximum critical hit was 155 damage, whereas it is normally 138. Clearly they are weak too piercing, although I haven't tested other types.--Releena 21:50, 7 May 2007 (CDT)

Cockatrice

I believe cockatrice are weak to piercing as well, but I'm not sure the exact modifier. --VxSote 10:17, 13 June 2007 (CDT)
