Magic Quiver - Magic Attack or Attack?

[Emanomaly]

So, I'm a healer with a bow.
Magic Attack does increase my healing.
However, I'm not sure if my bow is doing magic or attack damage.
Magic Quiver is a Magic Skill. Maxed out is base damage 12.5, skill damage 15%
Is my bow damage doing magic attack or normal attack?
I'm wondering if it's better for me to have magic dragon armor or attack black dragon armor.

I thought of both but it more likely I see it it is using the bow as physical dmg that I think

What matters with bow aint the damage output of the bow itself.... it's the debuff applied by the arrows you use (fire, poison, toxic).
Best bow available for now (best I could find) is the sagitarius bow and it has only 120 physical and magical damages when most one handed weapon deal above 400, best two handed deal 600 and spear does way above 500...

The thing is, those debuffs (poison and toxic especially) are stackable DOTs. Quickly shoot 10 times a monster with poison arrows that apply a DOT of 500 damages per tick and you'll see the monster take 5K per tick.

What magic quiver does is it makes you shoot without spending your precious arrows while still carrying their debuff. So forget about damages on bow stats, worry about durability, attack speed and your magic quiver CD.

Even though the Sagittarius bow is only 120, with a well placed head shot on a dragon you can do 2400 damage. I want to know if that is physical or magic so i can buff that.

The magic quiver arrow has a base damage of 12.5
It does more damage than the stone arrow I have equipped. When the spell runs out I do less damage. Does that mean there is a magic attack buff on the arrows, or an attack buff on the arrows?

[Guh~hey~hey~♫]

hmmm.... using jump shot combined with toxic arrows you can easily stack an over 10K per seconds DOT while not consumming any of your toxic arrows thanks to the magic quiver. This will melt down anything in seconds, except the big snake boss which look immune to the toxic arrow effect for some reasons.
That's how I farmed most dragons at early levels. So I didnt really bother with damage buffs (I was having a magic build with frost mine as main attack and no physical buff at all), but I guess the magic quiver indeed gives a damage bonus to bow's attacks the same way other skills add damage to weapons attacks, and I'd say it's probably physical damages.

Test it: craft 2 of the weakest bow from volcano wood, one with fire demon, one with fire spirit. Use them to OHKO a blue mono or any other weak common monster, both of the same level, and compare which one does the more damages. You'll have your answer.

Love that no one is really answering the question XD

Honestly mate, as I have not tried it myself, I would just test it yourself. Get an ATK heavy set of gear and a MATK heavy set of gear and see if the numbers change. I would assume it's MATK due to it being in the magic section, but can only test.

[Emanomaly]

Okay. I tested it with the two bows of fire demon and fire dryad. The result, exactly the same. It seems skill damage might be different from both attack and magic attack. *shrugs*

Headshot magnum with kai 99 sagitarius gives almost 200k damage.
