Anyone know the benefits? I heard you take less damage from Fire/Water/Lightning/Earth attacks with Holy Armor but anything else?

Skoguls can still curse me and Frus can still turn me undead property. =\

Bathory sucks now.

Holy reduces the basic elements across the board and reduces damage from holy, but isn't useful anywhere, really.

Shadow is useless as it was only primarily used to block statuses before, which it doesn't now.

You can Aspersio targets on PVP and get less damage if you use angeling cards...

But for PVM, both elements are not so good, because you can't be onehit by skills with those elements, so you can tank them even with the neutral element.

Who was the idiot who -1ed the OP? *Facepalm*

ANYWAYS, in PvM Holy Armor can be good for tanking Valkyries to reduce the damage of their elemental skills, though as most people have said they were a lot more useful Pre-Renewal than they do now.

You can make any of the powerful and deadly attacks of bishops deal zero damage while wearing holy armor.

Shhhh don't tell everyone :o

Now everyone is gonna wear angeling armor.

I know its only useful to GC builds but other than that there are other useful armor cards depending on your class/build.

Evil armor for mobbing in NI1

Angeling is useful when soloing ET real fast and don't want to switch armors, for those who can survive everything with angeling.

I dont know if this is still the case, but pre-renewal, Bathory armor made it so that your HP could not be drained.

Also, Evil Druid armor made you immune to Aspersio (Important for emp breakers)

Some attacks with statuses can still miss in renewal and result in no status proc (e.g. blind from grand darkness).

I find the armors useful for mobbing in some places--shadow for nameless, holy for rachel sanctuary--and for mvping: valk randgris, detarderus, nidhoggr, fallen bishop, thanatos.

Asperio is no longer useful on breakers, since part of your damage is always neutral.

Shadow grants immunity to a bunch of status effects (or at least it did, I'm not sure on the Renewal rules for this), and immunity to shadow attacks, such as a Banshee's Dark Strike.

Holy pretty much is just the 25% to all, but this can be useful when fighting a mixed bag of enemies.

The really big thing with holy is that it makes Grand Cross MUCH easier to use. I doubt RGs care all that much anymore though, since they have much better ways of killing things.
