Hey there people who know this game better than me. here are some questiosn i have about balance:

1)What stats affect your balance? (i heard str and int alter phy and mag respectively... are there any other stats such as wep damg or something that also changes your balances?)
Only str, int and your level change your balance.

2)Does armour type (garm, prot, arm) have anything to do with your balance?
Not really. Your balance does not change your defense nor vice-versa if I recall it correctly.

3)Does adding blue stats of +str or int count towards balance?
Yes.

4)What do the balances actually affect? (ie. base damg, skill damg, phy def, mag def etc... And how so?)
I'm not sure, but they change the damage, mag balance affects mag dmg and phy balance affects phy dmg. I don't think anyone here is sure of how it affects damage though.

5)As you increase one balance does the other decrease? or does the other one stay untouched?... (ie. if i put a point in str does my phy balance go up and mag stay the same? or will phy go up and mag go down?)
No. STR only changes phy balance where INT only changes mag balance (they are also related to your level).

6)WTF does that % beside some skills mean... I heard that balance is somehow related to the % thing on certain skills, is this true? (for example if strong bow has a stat like 70~95 phy attack power (350%) and i have 105% phy balance, does the 105% balance make the % beside the skill 368% or just make the skill do 5% more damg?)
I don't know, but the % is a multiplier, I believe it multiplies your final damage on each hit with a certain skill by it's %. So a 368% skill will multiply your final damage by 3.68x.

7)I am Pure STR bower and i am using Pach/Fire/Light/a bit of cold eventually. My imbue is the fire one. So: is my fire imbue affected at all by phy or mag balance? and on a side note: are all skills affected by balance???
Only mag balance and mag atk will change your imbue damage. Yeah, every kind of damage you deal is changed by your balance as far as I know. The damage coming from imbue from a pure str is very low by the way.



I know some of these questions may overlap... but please do your best to cover the info if you know it.


Thanks in advance for your answers.
Np.

~sorry if the answers are posted elsewhere... i spent a while searching but could not find anything that answered some of my more specific questions.~

As said no one knows the real formula that JM applies.

For the balance, it also influences your potion consumption. Int characters use less MP pots, STR chars less HP pots.

Exactly. The more Int you have the more an MP potion heals your MP. And HP vice versa.
