Cu Sidhe AI question (or rather confusion :) ) regarding damage type

Tinka

Visitor
Hi everyone

As so many, I am a returning player and very interested in the new possibilities. One thing keeps confusing me though: AI seems to be a preferred option in a Cu Sidhe. When I check the definition of AI, it reduces the physical resistance of the target. Yet Cu Sidhes deal by nature 50 % energy, 50 % cold damage. So it seems to me that it shouldn't do any good at all on a Cu Sidhe, yet everyone agrees that it does. What am I missing?

Thank you for any help on this. :)

I'm guessing you were looking at uoguide. That information is wrong.

Per uo.com wiki...

Armor Ignore – This special move allows the skilled warrior to bypass all of their target’s armor resistance, for one shot only. The Armor Ignore shot does slightly less damage than normal (90% of normal damage). Against a heavily armored opponent, this ability is a big win, but when used against a very lightly armored foe, it might be better to use a standard strike. PvP Only: Armor Ignore direct damage cap on melee weapons is 35, on ranged weapons is 30

That information is accurate.

Does 90% of normal damage to the target... no defense.

Thats my understanding.
