It doesn't. Heart of Holy Flame and Avatar of Balthazar settled it. You don't deal physical damage when your attacks become Holy damage. It's just that most skills in the Smiting line inherently ignore armor.

It doesn't fix armor at 60 AL. That was an incorrect theory as to how Holy/Shadow damage ignored armor.

Sorry Savio just not my day. Luckily it wasn't the main point I was trying to make. Guess I need a remedial on the current dogmas/working theories for smite prayers.

So what is your method??

AlienFromBeyond · Nov 10, 2006, 07:34 AM // 07:34

Xunlai, you're not getting any answers because no one on the forums has them.

And would it hurt you to capitalize the first word of each sentence? =/

If you read all my post then you should have seen that I said when you change your attacks do physical dmg plus the new damage (holy) but I just tested this and guess I'm wrong about that (use to be like this, but guess they finally changed it...probably like 6 months ago but meh). I still stand by the armour ignoring, since I think it makes more sense in my mind. Maybe some creatures just have dmg reduction vs holy (like the oposite of necro tormentor stuff)...meh I don't really care. What I'm really looking for here is for one of those who have rank 8 (and I know you're out there) if you can still talk to people to get the next rank.

you must find a way of killing the monsters, not too quickly and not too slowly: make several tests

I'm sure we all have diffrent methods of farming those Call to the Torment creatures, but we are all keeping tight lip about it in hopes it doesn't get A.net's attention

Vanquisher · Nov 10, 2006, 02:18 PM // 14:18

Holy damage isn't armor ignoring. Various skills that do Holy Damage do ignore armor, but if you look at anything like Judge's Insight you'll see that it converts the damage type so that the effects on Armor such as +10 vs. Physical are ignored, however the natural Armor level is what it would be.

Edit: As for afk farming LB points. Gate of Nightfallen Lands -> get the bounty from the nearest Warden. Kill everything except Spear of Torment. Take 2 Healer Heroes, a Paragon Hero, 2 Healer Henchmen, Warrior Henchman. Set your Paragon up almost completely defensively, but meet his Spear Mastery requirement. Maybe give him 1/2 attack skills. You'll get 200+ pts per hour while afk.

man my henchman's arm must be tired for throwing so many spears.... thanks for the tip =)

kade · Nov 11, 2006, 08:33 AM // 08:33

i know this is a rather noobish question but seeing as the search button is broked atm...can anyone direct me to the "nightfallen gate" area?

halea · Nov 11, 2006, 01:23 PM // 13:23

no comment

have fun

Maxiemonster · Nov 11, 2006, 02:02 PM // 14:02

Nice, rank 8 is maximum, thanks alot for posting

Now to find a nice spot to farm, and some addicts that feel like teaming up.

AlienFromBeyond · Nov 11, 2006, 08:07 PM // 20:07

Rank 8 is max eh? Good to know that I don't have to spend the rest of my guild wars life maxing it out.

Ravi · Nov 11, 2006, 08:34 PM // 20:34

the important thing to ask here is : is there any REAL rewards for maxing it? cuz frankly, LB gaze, and that other elite skill are pretty much crap, its not like i can't take two searing flames eles; rewards i say!

Vanquisher · Nov 11, 2006, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Kind of a Big Deal. There's the reward.

unienaule · Nov 11, 2006, 09:07 PM // 21:07

You do know that Lightbringer title gives you +5% extra damage to demons and -1 damage reduction from demons PER RANK, right? That's a total of -8 damage reduction, and 40% extra damage, and that's pretty good in my opinion.

Do this test for me, well, for you really. Go use Lightbringers Gaze on a mixed group of Margonites. Then, explain how exactly holy is armor ignoring since the different classes will take (zomgnowai) different amounts of damage. Oh, and also, Margonite Executioners (Warriors) who use heal sig will take over 200 pts of damage from Lightbringer's Gaze. It's simply much easier to say that the direct damage Smiting line holy damage skills are armor ignoring.

Ravi · Nov 11, 2006, 09:07 PM // 21:07

hhmm... i see. let me see if i understand, so we grind at least 50 hours to max the title (at 1000lb point/hour), so we get 1 point to the KOAD title to get that, just the title? hhmm, i see, this is quite worth it
