Talk:Dust Trap

Is it known that the damage type is shadow?
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any skill that can be used to distinguish shadow damage from unspecified type damage, so perhaps this question is impossible to answer. &mdash; Stabber 07:48, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * I removed the reference to shadow, and just make it say armor-ignoring. HOWEVER, we should test whether greater conflag + winter will affect the damage. -PanSola 08:16, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * Just tested. GC+Winter has no effect. (GC converts only physical damage anyhow, which Dust Trap decidedly doesn't deal.) &mdash; Stabber 08:21, 28 February 2006 (CST)
 * Mantra of Earth does reduce damage from dust trap. Putting Earth damage back.  Some more careful testing with Spinal Shivers should be recorded with details.  Maybe the timing was off so the interrupt didn't trigger. -PanSola 08:23, 28 February 2006 (CST)
 * Winter + Mantra of Frost does not reduce damage. Winter + Mantra of Earth does reduce damage.  Thus winter doesn't work with Dust Trap. -PanSola 08:30, 28 February 2006 (CST)
 * Huh. &mdash; Stabber 08:34, 28 February 2006 (CST)
 * I see no problem there. It's earth damage so it triggers Storm Chaser and Mantra of Earth, but it ignores armor. I think armor ignoring and damage type aren't the same. Grz 08:54, 10 October 2006 (CDT)

Reconfirmation

 * Re-tested after the July 13th update, still same behavior, no silent fixes. - 08:43, 14 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Even completely stripping will still end with same damage, just want to explicitly mention that. - 09:17, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Edited
As of checked today, the description has been changed to damage without any specific kind, being more understandable that it ignores damage. 20:15, 24 September 2006 (GMT -3) EricDanie
 * as of Gw:19,140 (just now), ONLY the description has been changed. the earth damage bug with mantra of Earth and with winter still persists. - 04:54, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

it sometimes matters what order you activate things in see energizing wind >quicking zephyr and then quicking zephyr> energzing wind with 10 energy skills (in one, it goes 10-13-10, in the other, it goes 10-10-13) this means that depending on the order of the spirits, the costs will be diffrent. if mantra of earth was used before or while summoning winter, i belive this could have caused the problem
