Changes: Holy damage

Revision as of 22:02, 25 October 2006

Holy damage is a damage type caused by some monk and dervish skills.
A few monk and dervish skills convert weapon damage to holy damage.
There are no weapons that inherently cause holy damage. Monk Smiting Rods and Smiting Staves inflict light damage, which is functionally the same.
Skills causing holy damage ignore armor.
Weapons causing holy damage (as a result of damage type conversion due to skill effects) do not ignore armor.
Holy damage is neither physical nor elemental damage.
Nothing protects specifically against holy damage.
Holy damage deals double damage to undead creatures, such as minions. It also deals double damage to a few non-undead creatures, such as the Phantoms in the Ring of Fire Islands.
The Necromancer's Tormentor's Armor and Necrotic Armor take additional damage from holy damage.
