Also, could you explain this part of the guide? Judging by this it looks as if E/N/F/C attacks bypass positional defense, which is false. |
Due to the fact that melee, ranged and aoe arn't catagorized by a particular type of dmg E.g energy. it was the actual physical cast itself is what I referred to. So whether it was fire or cold or negative energy because the element is in the physical form of ranged or aoe your defense will cover it due to the fact its a physical cast of those 3 catagories, melee/ranged/aoe.

Just as a side note, there are some attacks that maxed out Positional Defense will not touch at all. To make it even more fun, they are Psychic, too, which has the fewest defensive power options in the game.
Thankfully, they are very rare.
