Which RA would decrease elemental damage?

AP due to it being given during melee?
Or AoM because it is based on damage-types, normal lowered by AoM?

- Just curious....

I would say both since AoM lowers magical dmg and AP adds to your overall physical dmg absorption.

AP does decrease all damage including LW.

Id assume AoM does it too, but the effects will be minimal I guess.

If debuff procs you're fugged anyway :eek:

The interesting stuff is that you might be able to deal good damage -before- proc, to a type of armor that is regularly resistant to your weapon (e.g slash, crush, thrust).

Currently AP affects LW damage the most, AoM does have an impact but its minimal. Empty Mind again affects LW damage but its minimal.

In frontiers. Physical Defense (a.k.a the new AP) doesnt affect LW Weapons. AoM and Empty Mind the new version affect LW alot. upto a max of 58% reduction in damage done by LW weapons excluding normal magic resists of 26-31% and Resist buffs.

You can actually make LW weapons do sod all damage in Frontiers but its gonna cost you 64 RA points ;p
