It's not in the wiki and I don't want to sift through 100 replies in the changelog to find it. How does the RoBF damage work in regards to AC? I know that GA can't reflect it, so is it counted as physical or magical?
All I can say for sure is that AC DOES affect damage.
Else I would not witness the insane damage fluctuations I see. (I tried fighting various ACs, and if my results are not only due to luck, higher AC minions take less damage.) Now, is it magical or physical? I think it used to be neither. But at present, I have no idea.

From the results I am getting so far, the RBF damage is like damage from a physical attack. So AC affects it like it would affect other weapons.

That's better, if it counts as magical damage, I will cry. I'll have no reason to be a tank, RoBF's around my level practically do the same damage, for a lot of nothing, actually, it's not even exp, they're doing almost the same damage from nothing, and I can't do anything about it, I can't even reflect the damage, I can't hit them with my +100 weapon, and ohh, even if I use DD, they only need a decent amount of HP and I would stalemate them from the DD reduction from the RoBF.
RoBF is underpowered.
it's magical Flamey, start the water works

As best as I can tell, RoBF reduction is at the very end after AMF/AC/Protection. So the more its been reduced before RoBF kicks in, the greater the chance of taking "no damage".

It doesn't have a magical behavior novice... AMF does not affect it and base AC reduces it.

Damage from RoBF works like damage from GA so it is only reduced by the + on your armor.
Kong: GA works like whatever damage you're dealing out.
After thinking about it, I do remember seeing pretty drastic reductions in RoBF damage on my small farm, So you're right Talion.

"Damage from RoBF works like damage from GA..."
That was before change month. It works differently now.
