Shadow damage

From Guild Wars Wiki

Shadow damage is a damage type caused by many necromancer skills.

Characteristics

Unlike dark damage, shadow damage ignores armor and character level. That is, a skill that says it deals 50 shadow damage to a foe will deal exactly 50 damage, regardless of armor level, although it is still modified by skills which affect all damage, such as Protective Spirit, Frenzy and Shielding Hands.

Notes

As with typeless damage, there are no known effects which interact specifically with shadow damage.
