Damage type

From Guild Wars Wiki

Damage is separated into distinct types. Creatures may be resistant to or weak against a particular type. Certain armor insignia also give damage reduction against a particular damage type.

[edit] Damage types

• Elemental damage
  • Cold damage
  • Earth damage
  • Fire damage
  • Lightning damage
• Physical damage
  • Blunt damage
  • Piercing damage
  • Slashing damage
• Chaos damage
• Dark damage
• Holy damage
• Shadow damage

[edit] Typeless damage

Some damage has no type, bypassing armor calculations. If a skill's description does not specify a damage type, it generally inflicts typeless damage. Typeless damage generally ignores armor.
