[SOLVED] White magic has no +dmg

1
Author Content Date
After doing some tests, it would seem that white magic is not gaining the +10 damage that everyone is telling me that it should. Black mages are having the time of their lives with +10 md though.
Could someone confirm this please?

Thanks.

I think its a popular misconeception that black mages gain +10 magic defence and white mages gain +10 magic attack, however in reality it's both classes gain +10 magic defence against their own class. Hence why black mages will gain 10 less magic damage from lower level mobs at the same INT and 100 black magic skill,
because all lower level mobs use a black magic spell.

EG: Spells like iron fist would probably do more damage to someone who has 100 black magic skill than dragons breath would due to the fact they do not have an extra 10 magic defence against white magic spells. (they would have an extra 10 magic defence from blue magic spells (dragons breath) from the 100 blue magic skill they own).

An easier way to explain would be treating black/white magics like pokemon type's both weak against each other, but strong agaisnt themselves lol.

Both classes gain 10md @ 100 magic skill (black/white)

Sorry for long post.

Maybe my old brain is wrong, however, I am sure in the old days you could hunt wraith sooner as a black Mage because of the MD bonus over a white Mage.
