Illusions element question mark

Does anyone know Illusions element now?

Before anyone goes off on a tangent, I've noticed that on Empress Cygnus, I don't hit max with illusion until I use Elemental reset. This means it has to have some sort of element.

So in theory, Illusion has an element... -sigh- another skills I have to constantly use, joy.

@Abysseon I don't know....That's the best explanation that I could come up with to explain the damage dealt being doubled in my situation from just using Elemental Decrease.
The same happened with Teleport Mastery, Magic Missle, Magic Flare, Dragon Thrust, and Phantom Imprint and I had all my equips off except for a Silent Crusade Book and a Union Wand which only had Magic Atk +6 and Max MP +6%.
Oh and I only used Booster, MG, Onyx Shroud, Will, Decent HB, and Magic Resistance and of course Elemental Decrease.

According to Fiel's extractions "Physical" is listed as an element. It could be that the extractor just categorized it together with the elements.
At first I thought bosses that were "Physical Strong" meant any attack from a class that uses Weapon Atk and does not have an element attached would be resisted but I guess it simply meant any non-elemental attack which is pretty much neutral.

That's just my guess. I don't know if this has the same effect on Blaze's, I/L's, and F/P's Elemental Decrease/Reset though. No resistances would be great.

[quote=PrinnyBomb]I think Elemental Decrease also removes the neutral element. Bosses like Pink Bean and Ephenia are said to be "Physical Strong".

The same thing happened to Ephenia. So yay for mages with a Reset.(Not sure if this applies to the other resets actually >.> )[/quote]

What the hell? That's so dope. It would make sense, but it logically doesn't at all. It's neutral, therefore affected by physical resistance, but if you remove the neutral element therefore making it unaffected by physical resistance, what affinity does it have?

Very strange. Evans for god tier.

[quote=xDracius]But Elemental Reset does nothing but reset the element to nothing?[/quote]

Yes,that's the whole point of that skill. So u don't do less damage to fire resist mobs with flame wheel/blaze

I've clearly stated everything I know. I was planning on testing on bodyguard with a boss-damage less wand, but I went too late last night to test out fire and ice. I just know that it has some sort of element if Elemental reset will make it stronger on occasion.

OT: It could just be observation bias.

Something must be giving it an element.
Or perhaps "neutral" is considered an element, and the Empress resists ALL elements...?

And Elemental Reset makes your attacks have NO element....

I thought it had Dark element? Not too sure on that one though
