Holy damage

Usage

 * Holy damage is a damage type caused by some monk skills.
 * Holy damage is neither physical nor elemental damage.
 * Skills causing holy Damage ignore armor.
 * Holy damage from Judge's Insight does not ignore armor (but does add 20% armor penetration).
 * Nothing protects specifically against Holy damage.
 * Global damage reduction, from equipment with damage reduction bonuses or enchantments such as Aura of the Lich, does reduce holy damage.
 * Weapons don't cause Holy Damage. Monk Smiting Rods and Smiting Staffs inflict Light damage, which is different from holy damage.
 * Holy damage deals double damage to undead creatures like minions.
 * The Necromancer's Tormentor's Armor and Necrotic Armor take additional damage from holy sources.
