Physical Damage is a the most common form of damage. It is found on all Longswords, Greatswords, Hammers, Daggers and Longbows. Chakrams do physical damage in addition to elemental damage.
Staffs and Sceptres generally cause only elemental damage and not do physical damage in and of themselves, though the Fateless One can do some physical damage with them if s/he builds up the Staff Mastery and/or Sceptre Mastery abilities. One can also use Blacksmithing to custom-craft the staffs or scepters to do physical damage via the use of the relevant components.
Abilities that deal physical damage include:
- Quake, and its final upgrade Wrath.
- Sphere of Reprisal, and its further upgrade Sphere of Retribution.
Abilities that increase physical damage output include:
Physical damage is reduced by an Armor's Defence rating.
