Light damage

General

 * Light damage is a damage type found on monk Smiting Rods and Smiting Staves.
 * Light damage does not ignore armor.
 * There are no skills that cause light damage. Some monk and dervish skills cause holy damage, which is functionally the same.
 * Light damage is neither physical nor elemental damage.
 * Nothing protects specifically against light damage.
 * Light damage deals double damage to undead creatures, such as minions.
 * The Necromancer's Tormentor's Armor and Necrotic Armor take additional damage from light damage.

It always seemed funny to me when I saw a weapon that does "Light" damage, theres two ways that can be taken. At05gt 09:41, 26 November 2006 (CST)
 * "Light" damage as an elemental type like Holy damage.
 * "Light" damage like your hitting someone "lightly".
