Talk:Holy damage

According to the official description monk smitting rods/staffs inflict "light" damage. Is light damage the same as holy damage? --Tetris L 01:09, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * pvp damage type description is old and wrong: light damage is Holy damage and dark damage is Shadow damage. please prove me wrong:
 * Ollj is correct. This got changed at some point.  --Fyren 03:56, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Really? Everytime I check the collectors in PVE the damage types are listed as Light and Dark, not Holy and Shadow.  --Rainith
 * Then I shall investigate further. --Fyren 04:28, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I guess I'm plain wrong. I can't find any weapon that deals holy or shadow.  --Fyren 04:41, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Probably something similar to what happened when they brought the old Final Fantasy games over to the US from Japan. They thought Holy Magic had too religious a connotation, so they changed it to White Magic.
 * Holy damage still exists, but only for smiting skills. Similarly, necro skills do shadow damage but their weapons do dark damage.  Everything that directly does shadow or holy ignores armor.  Judge's insight is kind of an exception, it changes damage to holy but adds armor penetration, implying that the damage WON'T ignore armor.  --Fyren 08:23, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)
