pain,bloodsong, shadowsong.

When they attack is it armor ignoring?

Former Ruling · Jul 06, 2006, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Bloodsong obviously is...its Life Steal not dmg.

The one Casey Squid · Jul 07, 2006, 12:07 AM // 00:07

Yeah I know that but do the others?

Arkantos · Jul 07, 2006, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Yes they do.

I with also concur that spirits ignore armor. if for nothing more than to increase my post count by 1

They don't ignore protection like prot spirit, though I doubt a spirit would ever deal dmg more than 10% of your hp anyway. I'm not quite sure whether or not a non-life-stealing spirit's dmg is reduced by things such as shielding hands or absorption runes. I'd need another person to test that.

The life stealing spirits, such as Bloodsong, work exactly the same as Vampiric Gaze, Vampiric Bite, etc. Therefore, yes, the "damage" they inflict ignores all protective spells such as Shielding Hands and Protective Spirit.

And yes, the other Spirits do ignore armor; I have noted such in my own experience (be it yet brief) as a Communing Ritualist.

Post Count +1 FTW, eh Moses?

But what I meant spirits like Pain or Dissenchantment that do not do lifestealing dmg. Anyone know if those types of dmgs will be reduced by absorption or shielding hands-type spells?

Yeah. Badabing, badaboom. So yes. Pain, Disenchantment, etc. do ignore armor.
