Does Holy Avenger apply to communion slaves?
 

Just curious. Perhaps someone knows/met in the game. Does it work properly in this case? Not bad then for a reverse communions of fighters (vampires for example)

I dont know for sure but it probably does.

Another interesting fact about holy avenger - if you cast it, and then accidentally (or not!) injure your own priest, it will pick a random enemy to attack.

Oh dear me, Ironhawk, you gave me an idea for the most amusing spell...

Sounds to me like Communion + Holy Avenger + Rain of Stones = free Smite spam (okay, free apart from the cost of any dead mages).

You could communion a whole load of vamps, have the communion master cast Holy Avenger and then leave, and they'd do heaps more damage and still be immortal so it wouldn't matter when they died.

It'd be a nice complement to doing something similar with Phoenix Pyre.

A communion+holy avenger combo sounds awesome...

I must now go and work one out.

Blood Vengeance, Holy Avenger, Fire Shield, Astral Shield, Phoenix Pyre..... Am I missing anything nasty? :p

Oh right, Soul Vortex. :evil:

Re: Does Holy Avenger apply to communion slaves?
 

Would friendly fire from soul vortex trigger Holy avenger?

Re: Does Holy Avenger apply to communion slaves?
 

Most probably - yes.

Re: Does Holy Avenger apply to communion slaves?
 

Probably. However keep in mind that the unit casting holy avenger probably has decent MR so soul vortex might not hit them. I think the original way I noticed this was due to damage from a BoW aura or something. It was a long time ago.
