Even when they spawn Stone Skin and the physical immunity stays, they do get slowed down, and that is a Good Thing⢠for crowd control.
Nitpick: That would be Mephisto. Thank you. :)
ShadowHM,May 27 2005, 09:34 AM Wrote:The Sanctuary aura also aides immensely with crowd control for undead. The knockback allows you to whack the monsters individually and they cannot surround you to have a group whacking on your sorry butt. It does not increase your damage, but it certainly does increase the mercenary's damage against these monsters (most of whom he cannot leech from anyway, so that the increased damage per monster dispatches them fast enough that he needs fewer potions). I cannot swear to this, but I believe that there is also a benefit here when facing Oblivion Knights. It *seems* that the Sanctuary damage to undead makes them less likely to cast Iron Maiden and more likely to cast Weaken/Decrepify/Lower Resist.
The decrep makes sense, considering how oblivion knights use it more when characters are in their face atacking thanaway from them. Other curses will need extra info to understand.
