Damage Types
All damage is either Physical or Magical. Both Physical and Magical are then broken into several types, including Neutral if it has no type.
Physical Types
All Physical damage is one of the following types, otherwise it is Neutral damage.
Slash
Horizontal or Vertical swiping attacks are typically Slash, like Arming Sword's 1st and 2nd attack.
Pierce
Thrust attacks are typically Pierce, like Arming Sword's 3rd attack.
Blunt
Attacks dealt by non-sharpened weapons tend to be Blunt, like all 3 of Flanged Mace's attacks.
It is a common misconception that Cleric's Blunt Weapon Mastery applies to Blunt damage, when in reality it only applies to Maces's.
Magical Elements
All Magical damage is one of the following types, otherwise it is Neutral damage.
Following are some iconic examples of each, the list is not meant to be exhaustive.
Fire
Wizard's Fireball, Zap, and Explosion.
Water
Examples Missing.
Ice
Wizard's Ice Bolt.
Lightning
Wizard's Chain Lightning and Lightning Strike.
Earth
Cleric's Earth Quake.
Arcane
Wizard's Arcane Missiles.
Light
Wizard's Light Orb does not deal any damage.
Dark
Warlock's Ray of Darkness and Bolt of Darkness.
Evil
Warlock's Curse of Pain.
Divine
Cleric's Holy Strike spell and Judgement skill.
Air
Examples Missing.
Spirit
Examples Missing.
Neutral
Any Physical/Magical damage that is not in the above mentioned types is said to be either Physical Neutral or Magical Neutral. Examples of Magical Neutral damage include Crystal Sword and Staff Mastery's Magical portion, and Poisoned Weapon. Examples of Physical Neutral damage include..., but not weapon hits which deal Slash/Pierce/Blunt.
All bonuses or reductions to a specified type do not apply to other types, nor Neutral.
For example, Warlock's Antimagic perk gives 25% Magical Damage Reduction against all types but Divine, Curse, and Neutral. As such, Poisoned Weapon is not affected by it, and neither is Cleric's Holy Strike / Warlock's Curse of Pain.
Cleric's Faithfulness perk increases only Divine damage, as such, only Holy Light and Judgement are impacted and not Neutral damage.
