Every rank gives you +5% damage and -1 Damage reduction Vs Abbadon's demonic servants, but only if you have the title checked as your active title.

ok so the question is this... is the +5% damage restricted to physical damage?
i have noticed that with my mesmer Inept does not get any % bonus... nor clumzyness however images of remorse seems to be geeting a bonus?!? i dont get it how does it work?

It's limited to damage you deal.

So SS isn't affected, since "Spiteful Spirit deals 37 damage to ...."
Clumsiness also isn't, since "... target takes ... damage"
But fireball is does get bonus, since it's you who's dealing the damage.

But it's still not very precise or consistent. Generally, the damage you deal directly to someone should be affected. Passive, or conditionally triggered damage shouldn't be affected.

But it should apply to all types of attacks, not just physical, as long as it's you who's dealing the damage.

TY, that helps.. i wonder if this is the way the designers want it or if it is some kind of bug...
