Holy damage

Holy damage is a damage type inflicted by many Monk Smiting Prayers and Dervish Mysticism skills, as well as several other skills. It is also inflicted by wands and staves linked to the Healing Prayers, Protection Prayers, and Smiting Prayers attributes, as well as the unique Divine Favor wand Stormray.

Notes

• Holy damage is increased by Tormentor's Insignia.
• Creatures that have Undead sensitivity to Light take twice the listed amount of damage. These are mostly undead and Necromancer minions.
• Most skills that directly deal holy damage are also armor ignoring.
• Holy damage from weapon attacks is not armor ignoring, though unlike physical or elemental damage there are no armor bonuses against it.
