Physical damage is one of the 5 Damage Types. It is the most common and the only one reduced by Armour, rather than by a resistance. Most physcial damage comes from weapon attacks, but some spells do physical damage.
Every 10 points of strength give a 2% bonus to physical damage from melee attacks. The Iron Grip passive extends this bonus to also apply to physical damage from projectiles. The Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Iron Grip" applies the same effect to a single skill.
Passives
Many passives throughout the tree increase physical damage, but all are restricted to particular sources. Passives exist to increase physcial damage from the following sources:
All of these categories of passive skills will only increase the physical damage of attacks, not spells. However, the bonus from Iron Grip does not share this restriction. Passives which increase projectile damage, and the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Iron Will" support gem, apply their bonuses to all types of damage, not just physcial.
