With the discussion that I open, I propose to insert a new manastone, the manastone magic attack. As we all know for magic classes the increase in skill damage is obtained through the magic enhancement manastone, while the autoattack of the magic class such as sorcerer and sm do not receive any increase with this manastone and therefore to enhance the basic attack of the orb and the spellbook I propose this manastone, whose values are identical to the attack one.

Advantages switch equip to magic attack, instead of magic boost to make a stronger weapon basic attack.

I suggest we introduce a new manastone: the manastone for magical attack. As many are aware, magic classes typically rely on magic enhancement manastones to boost skill damage, but classes like sorcerer and SM see no benefit for their auto-attacks. To empower the basic attacks of orbs and spellbooks, I recommend this new manastone with values akin to the attack ones.

This would allow switching equipment to boost magical attack, rather than magic boost, for enhanced weapon basic attacks.

yes, because the game is just crying out for that...

magic classes are way OP, sorc can one-shot enemies already so we def don’t need them dealing 5k auto hits too

OH BTW: with 2.8 Glacial Shard will be an insta-cast skill

Opening up with a suggestion, I put forward the idea of introducing a magic attack manastone. As known, magic classes enhance their skill damage through the magic boost manastone, but this doesn't improve the autoattack for sorcerers and spiritmasters. So, to empower their basic attack with the orb and spellbook, I propose a manastone similar in value to the attack one.

This would let players shift equipment to magic attack, rather than magic boost, for a stronger weapon basic attack.

yeah, like that's what the game is missing...

magic classes are already overpowered, sorcs can one-shot enemies, so adding 5k autohits is unnecessary

BTW: with 2.8 Glacial Shard becomes an instant skill

I’m basically talking about a manastone boosting the base magic attack of books and orbs, maxing at +5 magic attack. Stats include an attack parameter for both physical and magic damage weapons. This stat measures the orb or book's base attack. In thinkin' about sorcerers, they mainly attack with the book, and with this new manastone, the base attack can boost up to 150 on a single hit. But remember, you gotta have a full set with +5 magic attack manastones, totaling +210 in basic magic attack. Of course, these stones reduce skill damage but switch out to boost the basic attack. Orbs hit harder than books, affecting skills and basic attacks. For instance, offering decent base damage from up to 3 meters away, although a sorc generally opts to attack with Freeze Wing since it dishes out more with that skill.
