View source for Holy damage

[[Holy damage]] is a [[damage type]] strongly associated with and inflicted by many [[Monk]] [[Smiting Prayers]] and [[Dervish]] [[Mysticism]] skills, as well as several other skills. It is also inflicted by [[wand]]s and [[Staff|staves]] linked to the [[Healing Prayers]], [[Protection Prayers]], and [[Smiting Prayers]] attributes, [[Hourglass Staff]] linked to the [[Restoration Magic]] attribute, as well as the unique [[Divine Favor]] wand [[Stormray]], [[Anniversary Hammer "Verdict"]], [[Anniversary Staff "Unveil"]], [[Decade Staff "Astral Pillar"]], [[Decade Staff "Dragon's Inheritance"]] and [[Decade Staff "Spirit's Absolution"]].

== Game mechanics ==
* Holy damage received is increased by [[Tormentor's Insignia]].
* [[Creature]]s that have [[Undead sensitivity to Light]] take ''twice'' the listed amount of damage. These are mostly [[undead]] and [[Necromancer]] [[minion]]s. 
* Most skills that directly deal holy damage are also [[Armor-ignoring damage|armor ignoring]].
* Holy damage from weapon attacks is ''not'' armor ignoring, though unlike physical or elemental damage there are no armor bonuses against it.

==Trivia==
*Prior to the [[game updates/20070525|May 25th, 2007 update]], wands and staves inflicted '''light damage''' rather than holy damage, which was functionally identical to the ''attack damage type'' holy damage.
*Judgment Strike was added to the game with the [[Feedback:Game updates/20200422|22nd April 2020 update]] as part of the 15th [[Anniversary Celebration]].
