Undead Killing
This is great for missions with lots of undead, or for fighting necromancer minions. Not only do your attacks get armor penetration, they will deal double damage to undead. Don't be too surprised to see one of your hits deal over 100 damage! This is handy against players because the holy damage will ignore +elemental armor on rangers/elementalists and +physical armor from warrior/assassin armor. Elder Angelus 21:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You are talking about an auto attack, right? Because a skill like Galrath Slash will crit a dervish for 100.StatMan 02:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Micah Fergson
It would seem he doesn't have this skill at all.
 * Try signing. Also, you need to have it unlocked for him to have it. 72.209.41.202 05:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

does this make conjure not do +dmg?

 * I believe it would, seeing as that skills like Grenth's Fingers trigger conjure spells. ~ Chao 20:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Its not hard to check in any case. I tested with a fiery bow and checked c-hits on a 60ar barrel. 70 dmg with just JI, with conjure it was still 70 dmg.--Justice 19:40, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, Grenth's fingers deals cold damage, triggering conjure frost, theres no conjure for holy damage, so it won't trigger.134.71.135.160 23:02, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Heroes
Under what conditions will Heroes use this skill? I was running with a friend yesterday, as a restoration ritualist, and her smiting monk would constantly cast it on me, despite me being in the backline and never wanding anything. Do weapon spells count as a "physical attack", causing it to be cast on me? Was is because my secondary class was Paragon? --Lyphen 12:52, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Were you wielding a martial weapon? --JonTheMon 13:47, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Just a staff. It's happened a few times since then, with my secondary being monk, so we're considering simply removing it from the Hero's bar. --Lyphen 20:42, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Generalization of damage increase
Doing a few calculations, I've come to a rough estimate on how much damage 20% armor penetration translates to: Player Armor -- Increased Damage by % under Judge's Insight 60 -- 23.1% 80 -- 31.9% 100 -- 41.4%

When you combine these numbers with already existing armor penetration (lets say Cracked Armor) damage increase with respect to normal damage levels becomes: Player Armor -- Increased Damage by % under Judge's Insight and Cracked Armor 60 -- 23.1% (unaffected by Cracked Armor) 80 -- 74.1% 100 -- 86.6%

You see warriors launch themselves forward in battle in PvP expecting to be largely ignored or at least hardly hit with damage. Might be a worthwhile strategy to equip this on a fast killing assasin + Weakened Armor on his opponent to take down that confident tank like it were a squishy and leaving the other party members to panic in response. --80.16.169.162 14:43, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Retarded
Isn't holy damage armor ignoring, making armor penetration absolutely useless in this skill? >_> ~Even If They Tried --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.189.121.185 (talk).
 * Not all holy damage is armor ignoring, including this skill, which is discussed in the notes section. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 20:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Avatars
Anyone know what happens if you use a skill that changes your damage type like Avatar of Melandru with this skill, do you deal holy or earth damage?--62.31.164.83 11:23, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * it will cause you to do Holy Damage. --Dragon7 cape emblem.png The Holy Dragons 20:27, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * most recent one, I think I remember that being the case when tested in SoO.

Hundred Blades
Does it change the slashing damage dealt by 100b to holy damage? I'm about to tackle SoO for the first time in HM, hoping I can use this + MoP for ultra pretty numbers --71.20.15.252 18:58, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No, your sword attack will do holy damage, but the AoE effect comes from HB, so it will still be slashing damage. Same with Vow of Strength and any other similar skill. FleshAndFaith 20:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
