I am a ranger/monk. I am using a Smiting staff which does light damage when attacking smites. Sometimes, I'll drop a Nature's and use my bow. Which type of weapon will work on smites the best?

Dred Skullord · Jun 28, 2005, 06:13 PM // 18:13

I guess I am asking if light damage is good or bad against smites in the underworld.

XENOGEARSHARINGAN · Jun 28, 2005, 06:48 PM // 18:48

um i think firedamg does good damge when i went with ranger i was using conjure flame and barrage i was doing 50+for barrage and 30+ for conjure flame

Ive only done smite runs a few times with trapper group as a ranger and last nite someone in our party was basically screaming at us not to use our bows againest them. What does using a bow do wrong?

Dred Skullord · Jun 28, 2005, 10:24 PM // 22:24

I made that mistake the first time too. The smites have an enchantment, shield of judgment, which will inflict damage and knock you down if you attack them with weapons. Nature's renewal will strip that enchantment.

I have been told that there is no armor defense against light damage, such as fire creatures taking less damage from fire attacks, ect. But smites seem to be monk-like creatures (have monk abilities) so I was wondering if they have an armor defense against light damage?

Flame Skyborn · Jun 28, 2005, 10:29 PM // 22:29

Also, they have an enchantment that allows them to regain X amount of health if you shoot them (any physical damage I am thinking).

I think that any non-physical damage works well against them, but that is purely from what I have noted, and may be just my imagination at work. By non physical, I mean basically anything other than melee or arrows.

Evan montegarde · Jun 28, 2005, 10:39 PM // 22:39

I have a question related to this. Does Shield of Judgement only apply to physical damage? If I used greater conflagation or ignite arrows, does it still knock me down?

Dred Skullord · Jun 29, 2005, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Here's the description- Shield of Judgement {Elite} - Enchantment Spell
For 8-18 seconds, anyone striking target ally is knocked down, and suffers 5-41 damage.

I really don't know; I'll ask my pick up group.

Wolf89 · Jun 29, 2005, 12:49 AM // 00:49

Truthfully no weapon lol its best to use spells shield of judgement is a bitch.

Dred Skullord · Jun 29, 2005, 01:19 AM // 01:19

XENOGEARSHARINGAN · Jun 29, 2005, 02:08 AM // 02:08

yeah shield of judgmen knock anyform of attack it could be spell, ignite arrows aoe, anything hitting you from a player will knock them down. wiht an all ranger group youd ont even have to worry about using bow every ranger can lay about 5 traps i lay 10 once smite hit them they die withou even them to uching you

any one know what those dam axe thing are weak against, iknow they aint weak agiant fire, im gonna try my ebon string today

Dred Skullord · Jun 29, 2005, 07:48 PM // 19:48

I've seen teammates use area attack spells (meteor shower) on the smites; my guess is that area attack spells are not deflect by the shield of judgment.

EF2NYD · Jun 29, 2005, 07:54 PM // 19:54

Shield of Judgement only knocks down physical attackers, not spells.

dansamy · Jun 29, 2005, 08:52 PM // 20:52

SoJ knocks down a physical attack, sword, bow, wand, etc. Use only spells and no hexes since they also use smite hex.

Enigmatics · Jun 29, 2005, 09:08 PM // 21:08

Counter Smiting works against smites.. because it isn't an element. "Light damage" is different from "holy damage".
