When I equip a lv 40 umbrella with 40 ish M.atk or my ele wand 2 with 99 M.atk.. my poison is still the same. How come? Not only does it have more M.atk but it should also deal 10% more poison damage.. I don't understand..
The initial poison attack that you inflict with Poison Bracer will do more damage with the Elemental Wand 2, but all poison damage that lingers is a fixed amount that is determined by the mobs max HP.
So you're saying that elemental wands are useless x.x I should of purchased a red whip XD Thanks for the fast reply
Ele wands are useful for fire, ice and lightning. When you reach 4th job you will want an ele wand 5 (lv 130+) for meteor.
No it isn't useless. As a matter of fact, Elemental wands are what you should go for as a end game weapon because of the elemental damage bonus. As what @Plenty has mentioned, the initial attack will have higher damage as opposed to using a non elemental wand. Damage over time, or DoT for short, is the damage you see on top of the mob every second. That doesn't change. All in all, elemental wands are the best for Arch Mages. Maybe you should refer to this guide here.
Well I was referring to F/P mages 3rd job. The poison's initial damage is so low there's no point in actually mentionning it, really.. This explains why I've seen F/P mages roam around with a red whip at Skeles.
The Int from a scrolled wand is still useful to actually hit the Skeles because a Mage's accuracy is determined by their level and Int.
