Holy Damage Weapon Mods.
Captain Herbalife
I would like to see mods added to the game for "Holy Damage". My idea here is for melee weapons. Such as rangers having a Holy Damage string on their bow. Rangers are treated like the poor redheaded step-children of GW where farm groups are concerned. There are 2 places that rangers can consistanly farm(as in groups looking for one) Tombs and the Furnace. Just try to get a ranger group in DOA or in FOW / UW. Its not an accepted idea for the most part. Myself and guildies have done several run in FOW and UW with b/p groups, but it is not a widely accepted idea. Hell with Holy Damage mods it would open up possiblities for Sins and Paragons even. Even if it were offered in the form of a new line of Greens. I could elaborate more on this idea but I am sure you have gotten my point already.

No. No armor mod protects against holy damage like it protects against physical and elemental damage.

Aye!
It IS a type of damage... so yea... it should be a mod like the rest.

Rangers are used in UW and FoW all the time. Try using something besides B/P (like trapping, interupting, or burning arrow degen) and you'll see that they can be used in a balanced group very easily.
If you want to do holy damage, bring a smiting monk with strength and honor, etc to convert existing damage into holy.
This isn't allowed due to game balance/mechanics.

Should be possible to do as much holy damage as you like, holy barrage anyone ?

dark dmge, holy dmge, chaos dmge, shouldn't have + armour mods since then you'll nerf a whole bunch of skills and weapons.

double dmg vs undead. imba.

If you think rangers are unwanted, try a mesmer or para.

My Mesmer is only unwanted by the kind of people I wouldnt want to be seen dead with anyway.
Being a mesmer looking for a group sorts out the bad players like nothing else.

Paragon? Meh, no harm in taking one. Hexbreaker Aria can be very useful in some places.

Paragons are overpowered. They still are. It's a mystery as to why people seem to dislike them. It's probably the people who are confident in their abilities who exclude them =D

People are unpredictable and bring a far wider range of skills to the missions, yes sometimes this leads to failure but often to a fresh way of completing the task.
This makes the game less boring, still heroes have their place and I use them a lot myself.
One trouble at the moment is that darned survivor title so many want it they darn't risk player parties.
Worst thing in the game imho

Entirely imba. There are elemental mods for this. The holy would be STRICTLY better than Ebon, now, since there is no Ebon conjure.
No +AL against holy, and it should stay that way.

/not signed but maybe they could add some new really rare drop weaps to pve and make them holy dmg based

...? where is it mentioned that this mod would be pvp exclusive?
a total pvp/pve separation of skills and items is the way forward, but its not what was suggested.
as it stands having a weapon mod that would passively double the damage against a whole enemy race is absurdly imbalanced.

I think it might be a good idea... Maybe if you could earn an incredibly rare weapon that does holy damage at the end of an incredibly hard to get and hard to do quest, that is automatically customised... Anyway, I hate to see things not done/done differently just because it would be "too good"...

Its not really that different from green weapons... Except that you get it from a quest instead of farming...

Lol, you already get attacks that ignore armour, all it would need is a suitable downside to the ability.

Non-unique staves obtained as loot before the October 25th, 2006 update do not have the "halves skill recharge of spells" inherent property. Unique, crafted, and collector staves have been retroactively updated, gaining the "Halves skill recharge of spells (Chance: 20%)" property....

If you cant get a group in DoA as a rng your doing something wrong. For the love of god you can SOLO trap there, you can SOLO trap underworld. Cry me a river dude.

It's a terrible idea, and I'm sure these mods were left out of the game on purpose. Not going to happen.

And if they introduced this type of damage, they should have a shield mod for it.
so....

According to Wiki, the holy damage granted by Judge's and the Dervish skills, isn't the same as a Smiter build.
Armor and level difference apparently figure into it (I'd want evidence m'self), however, double damage against at least 1 entire race (possibly two with demons) is a tad over powered.

So, am I the only one missing the obvious way to include a holy weapon mod?
An armour bonus against holy damage would seem to be the solution...
