It doesn't. Heart of Holy Flame and Avatar of Balthazar settled it. You don't deal physical damage when your attacks become Holy damage. It's just that most skills in the Smiting line inherently ignore armor.

Sorry Savio just not my day. Luckily it wasn't the main point I was trying to make. Guess I need a remedial on the current dogmas/working theories for smite prayers.

Xunlai, you're not getting any answers because no one on the forums has them.

And would it hurt you to capitalize the first word of each sentence? =/

If you read all my post then you should have seen that I said when you change your attacks do physical dmg plus the new damage (holy) but I just tested this and guess I'm wrong about that (use to be like this, but guess they finally changed it...probably like 6 months ago but meh). I still stand by the armour ignoring, since I think it makes more sense in my mind. Maybe some creatures just have dmg reduction vs holy (like the oposite of necro tormentor stuff)...meh I don't really care. What I'm really looking for here is for one of those who have rank 8 (and I know you're out there) if you can still talk to people to get the next rank.

you must find a way of killing the monsters, not too quickly and not too slowly: make several tests

I'm sure we all have diffrent methods of farming those Call to the Torment creatures, but we are all keeping tight lip about it in hopes it doesn't get A.net's attention

Holy damage isn't armor ignoring. Various skills that do Holy Damage do ignore armor, but if you look at anything like Judge's Insight you'll see that it converts the damage type so that the effects on Armor such as +10 vs. Physical are ignored, however the natural Armor level is what it would be.

Edit: As for afk farming LB points. Gate of Nightfallen Lands -> get the bounty from the nearest Warden. Kill everything except Spear of Torment. Take 2 Healer Heroes, a Paragon Hero, 2 Healer Henchmen, Warrior Henchman. Set your Paragon up almost completely defensively, but meet his Spear Mastery requirement. Maybe give him 1/2 attack skills. You'll get 200+ pts per hour while afk.

Rank 8 is max eh? Good to know that I don't have to spend the rest of my guild wars life maxing it out.

the important thing to ask here is : is there any REAL rewards for maxing it? cuz frankly, LB gaze, and that other elite skill are pretty much crap, its not like i can't take two searing flames eles; rewards i say!

You do know that Lightbringer title gives you +5% extra damage to demons and -1 damage reduction from demons PER RANK, right? That's a total of -8 damage reduction, and 40% extra damage, and that's pretty good in my opinion.

Go use Lightbringers Gaze on a mixed group of Margonites. Then, explain how exactly holy is armor ignoring since the different classes will take (zomgnowai) different amounts of damage. Oh, and also, Margonite Executioners (Warriors) who use heal sig will take over 200 pts of damage from Lightbringer's Gaze. It's simply much easier to say that the direct damage Smiting line holy damage skills are armor ignoring.

hhmm... i see. let me see if i understand, so we grind at least 50 hours to max the title (at 1000lb point/hour), so we get 1 point to the KOAD title to get that, just the title? hhmm, i see, this is quite worth it

Considering it would take you 10,000 minutes (~167 hours) of drinking, the time it takes to chest run 10,000 chests (at 1 chest every two minutes, fast estimate ~333 hours), the gold it takes to buy 10,000 rares (~10 million), or the time to FF 10 million faction, to get the same '1 point' reward. I'd say its an easy one.

But remember, Cartographer and Protector titles gives you a point too, and those are some of the easiest titles to max.

But I agree with you, lightbringer gotta be one of the easiest title to get a point.
And I predict when the sunspear rank9 is unlocked, it will be too.

Alright, now that I know it's only 50k to max that title I'm going to farm the hell out of it. I'm still only R4 Lightbringer with 4,100 points... :]

Anyone want to team up for massive lightbringer gaze farming?

I need 3k to get to rank 5. Its much much faster to farm with multiple gazers.

At the risk of showing my stupidity....I'm a level 3 lightbringer but can't find the Lightbringer gaze skill. Is it given my the normal skill trainers or am I missing something?

Hey I dont think you are risking being stupid mate.

Just because you don't know about something that is obvious or found by others, does not make you stupid.

You gat the skill @ the Chantry of Secretsoutpost, where u can find the fow and uw statues.

Talk to a whispers guy and your skill will appear in your char.

Good luck.

Trust me, you are not stupid! I finished the game, got Grandmaster Cartgrapher and Protector of Elona, and R3 Lightbringer, and only found out about the Lightbringer skills in this thread!. If anyone is stupid, it is me.

I blame this on the fact that I Hench/Heroed the entire game.

There are advantages to playing with hench/heros only, but equally without talking to other people, if you miss something like this yourself then you won't have other people to tell you about it.

It was only last night when I was lightbringer farming with a guild mate and he called "I'm using Lightbringer's Gaze on...." that I even knew the skill existed. Even then I thought it was a Dervish skill as he was playing Devish! LOL

I'm thinking that probably the Whispers Informants won't give you Margonite or Djinn Hunt, but the Forgotten DO since they aren't related to the Chantry of Secrets.
