Is there any difference applied to mobs? I mean a mob made of fire will suffer more dmg from an Ice offhand or not?

ice dmg is generally less resisted from mobs at lower lvls, 100+ go with fire untill 220. thats the next least resisted dmg. if you go with magic, expect to be made fun of. id does half the damage of any equivalent item of different damage. similar with poison dmg, however that is only hella resisted by endgame/gelebrons tower and/or necro

You should actually do some testing before posting, don't listen to this guy^

just go with damage from whatever lures the mages in your clan have if you're bossing because their lures will help. Magic/fire/ice resistance % is about the same on most mobs and because of the variance in your auto it's only going to make a big difference from lures.

Poison is also really good on EDL bosses in tower despite being a lot more resisted then it is in carrow and even compares to lured cold/heat dmg on certain bosses. Although, On crag the 205 edl boss cold damage trumps all other types, on rev 210 edl boss cold damage is argueably the best, on gron 195 heat damage trumps all other types but on unox 215 edl boss poison hits higher then lured cold/heat and I suspect most of the other bosses(you'll have to test yourself to confirm).

@siliske magic damage isn't as bad as you tried to make out and most certainly doesn't hit 'half the damage of any equivalent item of different damage' it is only bad because it's an uncommon lure for a Mage to carry

^I did notice that I can hit twice as hard on unox 5* than I do on onyx 5*, prob due his armour, and I assume mages are weaker on Unox. I dont have much poison dmg but if u do u should check ur hits with different dmg @Dem0n as it might have been his weakness to physical dmg.

Eyes have next to no resistance to poison, tower guards and mages have the most

While testing I used Gara dmg sets (poison/ice/fire) removed all my armor and jewellery besides the Gara set itself. Stat dmg was 206 and punched the boss to check the damage it inflicted

Meanwhile Tower Mages have VERY little resistance to Magic.

A good rule of thumb is mobs/bosses are weak against the kind of attack they use. This isn't true in every case, but is true the majority of the time.

Have you ever levelled on wraiths? Try a blade of magic there.

Really while lixing your damage types don't mean anything unless you have a lure, and even then the best lure is the one increasing your weapon's damage

I've done wraiths before, I went from ice to fire and found an improvement. However the reason I bash on Magic damage is in a few ch vids on YouTube I leaned that most/all mobs in murky, ow, and carrow have high magic resistance
