Iron Mist and Obsidian Flame? - Guild Wars Forums

Iron Mist
Description: For 5-15 seconds, target foe moves 90% slower than normal. That foe gains immunity to damage from all sources except lightning.

Obsidian Flame
Description: Deal 22-94 damage to target foe. This spell ignores armor. This spell causes exhaustion.

Just wondering what actually happens when you cast iron mist to snare someone and then follow up with obsidian flame? Do you actually do any damage at all? Or is your target gonna laugh at you and thank you for the invincibility buff?

Obsidian Flame is considered Earth, so no, you shouldn't be able to cause any damage if you used Iron Mist and then follow it with Obsidian Flame.

If Elementalist was your Primary, you could always follow Iron Mist up with a Lightning skill to do the damage you wanted.

I'm pretty sure it won't because after all, it does say it doesn't take damage. I haven't tested this just yet.

Hmmm... ok, i didn't think of obsidian flame that way, i always thought of it as straight damage done that ignores armour, didn't know it was considered earth. What about DOTs and bleeding then? Does iron mist also block those too?
