Weapon damage types

Although not very important when you start, the damage type can greatly change damage you inflict to your foes.
Know this:
-Monsters with sanctuary will receive 2*less damage from you, but you can dispel them.
-Monsters with protection from (alignment) will receive somewhat like 35% less damage from you if your align matches the protection, however protect neutral does not exist, that is why it is interesting to be neutral.
-Monsters with protection from (damtype) will receive 35 % less damage from you if you are using this damtype.You cannot do anything to change this except changing your weapon or your damage type.
-Monsters with Critical weakness vs (damtype) will receive 35 % more damage from you if you are using this damtype.Beware it does apply to you too, so choose your race wisely.You can also remove critical weaknesses by casting a prot-damtype.
-If you are weak vs one physical damtype(example: eldar vs slice), your globe of invulnerability wont protect you vs that damage type.

Damtypes

• Slice,slash,cleave,chop are sword and axe main damtype.They are in the same damtype family.Eldars are very weak vs this damtype.Mobs I know for being weak vs slice are:
  Tax collector,Nearly all beer goblins,Carnivorous Plant,Blood ring warrior,Blood ring noble,Priest of the dark god(I am not sure),Nearly all order members(land of beer goblins),Morgresses,Morgraths,all kobolds at dominia ruby mox,Ironfoot treefolk at dominia.
  Resistant monsters to slice are:Follower of the dark god,Captain of the city guards,Witches at Oz,Tin man.
  Immune monsters to slice are:all officers on the peaceful ST:TNG starship,Nearly all guards at Falcovnia,horse at falcovnia,and all mages using globe of invulnerability.I know much about this damtype.I think beating is better than slice.
  Slice works on Ivar.

• Blast,pound,thwack,thrust,trip,assault,beating,bash,kick,peck,smash,punch are mace, flail and staves damtype.They are in the same damtype family.Ratlings are critically weak to this damtype.

  This damage type works fine at Soulblade.
  Mobs resistant to this damtype are:
  Carnivorous Plant,Yoda(Starwars),Duelist(Soulblade), Most mobs at ST:TNG.

• Light damtype:Vampire and shadow are weak vs light.Bat at Kul-Tiras is weak vs light.It is an only spell damage type.

• Freeze damtype:Divas are weak vs frost.Wolfen are resistant vs frost.Can do an additionnal Chill flag which decrease ennemy strength.Corpse of an undefined animal(Slaughterhouse) is weak vs cold.
  Giant roc and giant sandworm are immune vs freeze.

• Divine power:A nice damtype.Nearly no one is immune to it, and most demons are very weak vs Divine power, I mean at descent to hell and at Castle Vlad-Shamir, Giant roc(Mountains of Desolation), Priests of the Dark God,Maiden Vampire(Kul-Tiras), Vampire(Slaughterhouse), Lesser Demon(Slaughterhouse), Greater Demon(Slaughterhouse),Duncan Idaho(Dune), Roc(Desert Prison), Zombie(Arboria)are weak vs divine power.Some mobs at ST:TNG are immune to divine power.Anyway, the Sengir vampire seems not to be very weak vs Divine power
  Zombie Guards(Arboria),Visitors(Amazon Nation)resist divine power.
  Vampires hate divine power.
  Ivar is unaffected by divine power.

  Dwarves at dominia resist shocking bite.Some ST:TNG mobs are immune to shocking bite.
  Ivar is unaffected by Shock

• Energy:a fair damtype.No one is really resistant to it, but no one is really weak vs it...

• Digestion/acidic bite:Same look like as Energy...Children(Falcovnia),all the ghosts of smurfs(smurf heaven), Sandworms(Dune), Duncan Idaho(Dune), Shaddam IV(Dune) and Hanged Men(Falcovnia) are weak vs acid.Divas and Trolls are weak vs acidic bite.Some mobs at ST:TNG ,Riker, Picard, Corpse of an undefined animal(Slaughterhouse)are immune to acidic bite.
  Ivar is unaffected by acidic bite.

• Friction:Dont know much about this.Blood ring Nobles resist Friction.Giant Sandworms are weak vs friction.

• Suction:Dont know much about this.

• Toxic/Poison:a spell damage type(gas breath).In generally that damage works fine.However a few mobs and pcs resist or are immune to it.Giant Roc is immune vs toxic

• Decaying touch/negation/Drain:Vampires are resistant vs Negation.Amazon guard is immune vs negation.Thief(Falcovnia) is weak vs negation.That damage type sucks.

• Mental energy/Mind force:Giant are weak vs Mental energy.Works fine at giant peaceful village.Worshipping giant female,Stone giant guards, Elite giant stone guard, stone giant warriors, Eldar Krysten, Stone giant gladiators, Stone Giant Champions, Eldress Krysten, Stone giant boys, Stone giant girls, Stone giant berserkers and peasant(PGV, MoD) are weak vs this damtype.
  Hassan is unaffected to Mental energy.

• Magic/Wrath:Raw magic damage type...quite fair,Giant Sandworms(Dune),Greedo Bugeye(Starwars),Alexander(ST:TNG, attacked vessel)are weak vs Wrath.rarely immunity, rarely resistance.Quicklings are weak vs magic.
  Ivar is unaffected by wrath.

• Wind:This is a spell damage type.This damage type works very well against flying mobs or pcs.That is the only weakness of Half-Griffons.you can also make your opponent fly to improve the efficiency of this spell.To see if your opponent is flying, try a trip, it will tell you if your opponent is flying.If the trip works(does damage),your opponent is not flying.If he is flying, you will see:"His feet aren't on the ground!"

• Undefined:the BEST damtype:No one is weak vs it, but no one is resistant, no one is immune,no one can become immune to it...I would greatly put it on my axe of aardwolf, but you cannot change damage TO undefined...Too bad.

• Changing:Changing flag does one damtype at random every strike.In generally, you will do same average damage than if you choose Undefined.Bless weapon automatically sets an undefined flag on target weapon.It is a good thing to have a changing weapon in your inventory(ex:carving knife, dagger of vengeance)to see which damtype hits the best one mob.
