Magic Skill Amp.
Amplifies damage for magic-based attacks (Wizard, Dark Mage, Force Archer, Force Gunner). This stat combines with general Skill Amp and All Skill Amp to create your total skill amplification.
Overview
Magic Skill Amp works as a damage multiplier specifically for magic classes.
Total Skill Amp = Skill Amp (from your skill being cast) + Magic Skill Amp + All Skill Amp
This total is then used to amplify your base Magic Attack value. The damage calculation system applies different bonuses based on hit type:
- Normal Hits: Get 25% bonus skill amp (
Total Skill Amp × 1.25) - Critical Hits: Use base total skill amp (no bonus)
Your effective skill amplification is reduced by enemy Resist Magic Skill Amp, but can be restored with Ignore Resist Skill Amp if available.
Typical Values
Magic Skill Amp values vary significantly based on build focus, these are just some typical ranges:
- Early Game: 50-150%
- Mid Game: 150-400%
- End Game: 400-800%+
- Maximum Practical: No hard cap, but diminishing returns vs. cost
Sources
Magic Skill Amp can be obtained through:
- Equipment - most equipment pieces and/or their upgrades can provide magic skill amp/all skill amp
- Other - most progression systems
Notes and Tips
- Synergy is Key: Magic Skill Amp works best when combined with high Magic Attack values
- Normal Hit Advantage: Normal hits get 25% bonus amplification, making consistent damage very strong
- Resistance Matters: High-end PvP/PvE enemies often have high magic skill amp resistance
- Cost vs. Benefit: Extremely high skill amp has diminishing returns due to resistance
PvE and Pvp Variants
Magic Skill Amp has specialized variants that provide additional amplification in specific content:
- PvE Magic Skill Amp: Bonus skill amplification against monsters and NPCs
- PvP Magic Skill Amp: Bonus skill amplification against other players
How it works:
- PvE Content: Your total magic skill amp = Base Magic Skill Amp + PvE Magic Skill Amp
- PvP Content: Your total magic skill amp = Base Magic Skill Amp + PvP Magic Skill Amp
These variants stack additively with your base Magic Skill Amp before being combined with Skill Amp and All Skill Amp. This gives you significantly higher damage output in their respective content types.
