Talk:Light damage

Without starting a big fuss, except for the fact that Light Damage deals double to undead, how is it like Holy Damage? (We could point out ways that it's not like physical damage, or not like elemental damage, but is the line "Light Damage is similar to Holy damage." actually relevant, considering it's immediately followed up by the line about undead?) --JoDiamonds 05:04, 17 March 2006 (CST)


 * Well as far as I know, that's pretty much what makes damage damage. How much it does to certain creatures, and whether or not it ignores armor.  That's two things.  Light damage is at the very least half of what holy damage is.  Plus, they sound similar - akin to shadow and dark damage.  "Light" and "holy".  Evan The Cursed (Talk) 05:18, 17 March 2006 (CST)
 * I hope the question's answered satisfactorily now. 134.130.4.46 02:49, 9 May 2006 (CDT)

The Stormray, wand changes
The reason the Stormray gets special mention while the other unique items don't is because the Stormray is the only weapon requiring Divine Favor that deals Light damage - all others deal Fire damage. Healing and Protective Rods in Nightfall have different requirements (Healing Prayers and Protective Prayers, respectively) and deal Light damage now as well. - Savio   03:52, 17 November 2006 (CST)
 * We should mention that Healing and Protective Rods in Tyria and Cantha deal fire damage. I'll add that. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 04:30, 17 November 2006 (CST)

Do Any Creatures Cause Light Damage?
Is the vunnerability to light damage primarily a PvP concern or not? Incarnadine 11:46, 26 November 2006 (CST)
 * If you are using one of the necromancer armors that are weak to light damage, yes. A monk wanding you for 20 more damage than usual will hurt.
