Kephera or Cudgel?

Technically Mages, too. It's a Psionics thing.

I had 4 physical resistances up: Angphet (Metal mantra), Ironskin (Psychometabolic), PsiArmour (Psionics) and a TF from Ayridion.

AND you're a kephera, so you have level 3 resist to cutting/blunt AND presumably some good robes AND a shield. You just have a TON of resistance to physical damage, so yes, of course the magic damage from nature curse is going to do more because you have less resistances to it; just as cosmicfire will generally do more than symbol strike to a moondancer, and just as elementalism blast will generally hurt a mugwump more than point staff.

That's all true, but doing 4x the damage of the higher attack is a bit rediculous, even with resistances. Cosmic fire does not do 4x symbol strike damage - not even close.

It doesn't matter that he has those resistances, something is still broken. If it's not cudgel, maybe it's that you can get all those resistances, or maybe it's something else completely. It's still wrong, whatever it is.

Cudgel is useless, I normally go for charybdon in sap to kill, because at least while it's killing I can be hindering them. If you think you can kill a decent curer with cudgel, and expect them to stay in one place/stay sapped while you do it? Lol.

Just let us thornlash through sap plz, thanks.

Psh. If they're sapped and not tumbling for four equilibrium's, you can just let your demesne kill them and hold the saplock.

Buff cudgel plz.

Even with all those resistances, the fact that Nature Curse did more than 3x the damage of Cudgel Point is crazy as hell.
