Are there add-ons that show another color for Magickal and Physical Damage ?

Would be perfect when a corresponding log would show that as well

I am just wondering how to optimise my Spell Resistance versus Physical Resistance, but need data to do that really good.

    I have something called 'combat cloud'. You can make any type of damage any color, including dots, make crits larger, change fonts, where they appear on the screen, pretty much anything you want.

    I use FTC and the floaty Combat Log function shows different colored damage but I don't think that the "damage type" is exposed in the API as I saw no difference when testing it just now for you between physical and magical damage.

    Just because a skill does magic damage doesn't mean it gets mitigated by spell resistance. I know for sure that the physical penetration from surprise attack increases the damage I do with soul harvest, even though it's magic damage. But I can't tell you if that's the only skill or if there are other skills that work in a similar way.

    Interesting, perhaps because Soul Harvest is an Ultimate, it benefits from your best penetration as well.
    Thanks, for sharing @lolo_01b16_ESO :)
