Earth damage
From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchEarth damage is an elemental damage type that is usually caused by earth, tremors, dust, or other related sources. Earth damage sources include many skills from the Elementalist's Earth Magic and the Dervish's Earth Prayers attributes, and selected skills from the Assassin's Deadly Arts line.
Earth Magic wands and staves, any martial weapons with an an Ebon upgrade component, as well as Mallyx's Endurance inflict Earth damage.
