Talk:Cold damage

Cold Resistance/Vulnerability
Would it be possible to add a link to another page that lists creatures with specific cold resistances or vulnerabilities (not including those with a general 'elemental' resistance or vulnerability perhaps to shorten the list)?--Vallen Frostweaver 08:31, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Such a page doesn't exist on GuildWiki. It would take enourmous amounts of testing for each creature with each damage type. The Prima Guide has some information, but we don't trust it, because the guide is full of errors and inacuracies. Basically, only ANet would be able to create such a list as the rsult of a query of their database. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 09:41, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Perhaps a listing then of those known so far and is added to as they are discoverd? I may start one up with some basics from some of the more common ones (ice golems weak to fire, etc.) in hopes that resistances and vulnerabilitites will be added to each creature as it's discovered.  I guess you have to start somewhere and querying Anet's database doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon.--Vallen Frostweaver 09:45, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * It'll be a lot simpler than testing drop rate. -- Gordon Ecker 01:04, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Nothing is resistant against Holy. Like Shadow, it's armour-ignoring. Additionally, all things undead take double damage from it. --Black Ark 08:33, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * such an article would require quite a bit of data collection. not an apealing project, wandering with identical ebon, shocking, firey, icey, blunt, piercing and slashing swords, looking for slight variations. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 10:48, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Your best shot at getting any decent information would be to run around with wild blow (as it deals consistant damage). It still would be a long and tedious project, but if it's something that interests you to start, go ahead. As Sarah said, the first task would be to obtain a weapon of every element with the same damage and bonuses. Collector items could be a good place to start for this if you don't already have the weapons. --Thervold 11:02, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * be sure that you have a Jitte, as well, since some creatures (notably Undead) have been rumored to be vulnerable. pity there is no peircing swords around guess you'll have to cary a slashing axe and a Battlepick as well. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 11:27, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Thanks for merging all these. Actually, I was thinking of obtaining 5 candy cane bows (15-15 damage) and adding an element string to 4 of them (icy, fiery, ebon, shock) and leaving the last without an element string and testing from there.  Of course, I need to obtain the bows and a couple of the strings first. >.>  In the mean time, I will just surf wiki for existing notes on creatures resistances/vulnerabilities to elements and add them to the element pages as appropriate.  I won't be able to test for shadow vulnerability/resistance though.--Vallen Frostweaver 14:01, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * unfortuantly Candy weapons can not be modified. you'll need wild blow and regular weapons. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 14:32, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Aw poo. Thanks for the heads up though.  Guess I'll go melee then.  Not for a bit though.  At least I've found some noted already, here on GWiki.--Vallen Frostweaver 09:26, 17 August 2006 (CDT)

WHAT ABOUT FACTIONS
Recently this question was placed on the article front page rather than the discussion page. Factions and Prophecies are included on these lists and they are incomplete at this time and ever expanding. Those listed are the only ones tested and KNOWN to have vulerability/resistance to Cold damage so far. Further testing on other creatures has not shown any others to add yet but they may be added in the future as they are discovered.--Vallen Frostweaver 12:33, 22 August 2006 (CDT)
