"Physical Damage" redirects here. For the passive skill, see Physical Damage (passive skill).

Physical damage is one of the five damage types. It is the most common and the only one reduced by armour, rather than by a resistance. Most physical damage comes from weapon attacks, but some spells deal physical damage and damage over time.

Every 10 points of strength give a 2% bonus to physical damage from melee attacks. The Iron Grip keystone 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" gem applies the same effect to a single skill.

Passive skills

Many passive skills throughout the tree increase physical damage, but most are restricted to particular sources. These passives exist to increase physical 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 physical.

Revenge of the Hunted and Path of the Warrior are two notable passive skills that provide unrestricted physical damage bonuses. They provide 4% and 12% bonuses respectively to all physical damage you do. This includes physical damage generated by spells such as Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Ethereal Knives". Please choose only one of the following ids:
WraithEtherealKnives - Deals (192-692) to (288-1038) Physical Damage, Deals 15% less Damage, 25% reduced Cast Speed, 25% increased Projectile Speed, Fires 9 additional Projectiles (page)
MonsterEtherealKnives - Deals (24-625) to (36-937) Physical Damage, 20% less Cast Speed, (0-25)% increased Projectile Speed, Fires 9 additional Projectiles (page)
and Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Shockwave Totem". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterShockwaveTotem - Deals (1-61) to (3-114) Physical Damage, Knocks Enemies Back on Hit, Base radius is 2.4 metres (page)
TempestDaemonShockwave - Deals (11-3464) to (20-5773) Physical Damage, Knocks Enemies Back on Hit, Skills Repeat an additional 2 Times, 100% increased Cast Speed, Base radius is 2.4 metres (page)
.

Active skills

Skills with the attack keyword will do any physical damage of the weapon used and apply the appropriate physical damage passive skills. Some spells also deal physical damage. {{#ask:
