Talk:Lord Vanaduke

According to his article, Lord Vanaduke's body is slightly weak to piercing damage and slightly resistant to everything else. However, under the Tactics section, it recommends the use of piercing guns like Argent Peacemaker and Blitz Needle. I'd like to ask, does Sentenza work just as well as Argent Peacemaker for him? Though he is classified as Undead, his article states that he does not share the same resistances as common Undead, so the shadow damage component of Sentenza shouldn't be any different than the elemental damage component of Argent Peacemaker, and yet I've only seen people use Argent Peacemaker. Is this purely an aesthetic choice, or is there something more to it that I can't see?

The reason is that no one wants to lug a weapon(Sentenza) all the way through FSC that is worthless on everything but Vanaduke. AP is good vs. zombies and Callahan is good vs. Trojans. Sentenza is pretty much an expensive box opener until they add PvP that you can use your own gear.--SpiralMike 08:51, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. Thank you. Though on that note, I love Sentenza for T3 Gremlins. But that's just me.

Undead?

The page says that Vanaduke is NOT undead, but the context suggests that the author has concluded this based only on the fact that he does not share the undead's normal weakness to elemental damage or resistance to shadow. As such, it is not clear whether Vanaduke would be susceptible to an explicit "damage vs. undead" ability, such as on the Cold Iron Vanquisher or Radiant Silvermail. Anyone know? --Antistone 23:15, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Undead damage bonus has no effect on him. Neither does Fiend, Beast, or anything else. ~Katmint 23:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
