Talk:Lightbringer rank

/Archive 1 = Research =

Me

 * Energy Burn

E

 * Shatter Stone - initial damage
 * Shatter Stone - when the hex ends

A

 * Death Blossom - damage on adjacent foes tested. Initial damage status unknown.

None

 * Vial of Purified Water - the undocumented 50 armor-ignoring damage

Me

 * Backfire
 * Empathy
 * Fragility
 * Wastrel's Worry

Possible patterns and rebuttal

 * 1) by damage type?
 * 2) * The mesmer skills are all untyped damage, with differing behavior
 * 3) damages done by hexes don't count?
 * 4) * Shatter Stone's second damage is a hex damage, but is increased by Lightbringer rank
 * 5) Direct damage from hexes/enchants counts, but indirect damage or damage that is triggered in some way does not.
 * 6) * Damage from Shatter Stone (initial), Energy Burn, VoPW is dealt directly at time of casting, thus it is increased.
 * 7) * Damage from Backfire, Empathy, Fragility is indirectly triggered by a specific event, thus it is not increased.
 * 8) * Wastrel's Worry is different from Shatter Stone (secondary) in that SS says "when Shatter Stone ends", regardless of whether it is removed prematurely, while WW says "after 3 seconds" because it does not deal damage if removed prematurely.

If you have the 5th rank in the lightbringer title would a 55 hp monk only need to use prot spirit when fighting abbadons servants?
 * Interesting... I have no idea and is not even close to testing.. --Soulflame 18:33, 29 April 2007 (CDT)

Insert non-formatted text here

is there a level cap (like castellan) for which the whisper informants will stop givining you points?

nope

Minion Question
I get the LB bonus as do my heros but would minions summoned by myself or my hero get the bonus? In short will minions do extra damage as a result of LB at anytime? Chukie1188 17:11, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I asked this same question when the LB bonus was extended to heros long ago with no answer. Might end up testing myself.  If I do, I'll post back.--&mdash;  xis10al  [[Image:Xis10al_sig_icon.jpg]] 17:53, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
