Holy damage

From Guild Wars Wiki

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.

[edit] Notes

• Tormentor's Insignia also increases the amount of Holy damage received.
• Creatures that have Undead sensitivity to Light takes twice the listed amount of damage. This is mostly undead and Necromancer minions.
• Some Demons ,such as Margonites and Onis, take about 140% of inflicted Holy Damage.
