While researching cards, i came upon these descriptions

 

"...when doing melee attacks"

"...when doing ranged attacks"

"...when doing physical attacks"

"...when inflicting physical damage"

.....etc

 

Am I right to believe any kind of "physical" attack and/or damage includes both melee and ranged actions?

 

For example, if I were to slot an Injustice Card to a bow or gun, the effect will still activate based on that %chance?

[Facekiller]

injustice card works on melee or ranged attacks (bow melee/gun melee).... status effects can work with skills but skills cannot proc off other skills (most of the time there are a few exceptions)... melee attacks are considered ctrl+click up close attacks... its gets a little crazy with the effect descriptions not being consistent all the time...

 

[xfade0awayx]

so all the "physical" part of every description means melee or range attacks right?

[DrAzzy]

The card descriptions use multiple phrases to refer to the same type of effect - it's as if the translators for one batch of items/cards don't know the convention used for the previous batch. 

 

With very few exceptions, everything that autocasts a skill while attacking (or "inflicting damage", "doing physical attacks", "doing melee attacks", etc) works the same way - it procs on normal, non-skill attacks only, regardless of whether the attack is ranged. 

 

Things that inflict status effects (directly, not autocasting some skill that inflicts statii), however, do work through skills.

The exceptions i know of are provoke and absorb spirit sphere.They function like normal non-skill attacks.

[DrAzzy]

Oh yeah. Provoke and  Absorb count as non-skill attacks Also, hits from reflect effects that reflect a portion of physical damage count as non-skill hits.

For the record, is not a stupid question, its actually pretty valid.

Thank You Cepo...i jus thought the question itself was redundant but i really couldn't figure it out.

 

AND THANK YOU DrAzzy. That really really helps..i was hoping for an in-dept explanation too so thank you Again. I'm digging your "AzzyAi"...i need to read the manual again..cuhz in the past when i had a mercernary, homunc, and a pet out...it really lagged my system. I still think its because my desktop doesn't have the quality specs it needs but i figured i might find something helpful in the manual.
