Armor-ignoring damage

Armor-ignoring damage describes damage that is always the same amount regardless of the target's armor rating or level. This property is independent of damage type.

Properties

 * Always the same regardless of target's armor level;
 * Ignores character level, e.g. a Level 1 character deals the same amount of armor-ignoring damage as an L20 character;
 * Does not benefit from base or bonus armor penetration;
 * Is affected by damage reduction.

Sources of armor-ignoring damage

 * Typeless damage;
 * However, some skills that deal typed damage also ignore armor, specifically Mirror of Ice, Ancestors' Rage, and Dust Trap.
 * Shadow damage (but not Dark damage);
 * Most Holy damage;
 * However, holy damage from weapons does not ignore armor (e.g. from wands, staves, or any weapon enchanted to deal holy damage);
 * Bonus damage from attack skills;
 * Damage from skills that explicitly ignore armor, such as Obsidian Flame.
