We all learn something new each day
I am familiar with spirit damage since Necromancer is my most played class, largely due to the fact that she, among all the mages, is the only one without barrier.
It doesn't really matter much on threatening difficulty, but on perilous I tend to pick which targets I hit with walking bomb whenever possible. It probably wouldn't matter for people with very high willpower, but to me it does.
Your agrument was validated, but careful not to augment it with what could easily become a logical fallacy (read: Argument from Authority), as playing with a character a lot does not always denote expertise in damage resistances/weaknesses. However, please do not misunderstand this. You are granting me the opportunity to get some much needed data, for which I am grateful.
As I said your evidence in rebuttal was inconclusive, but it was my burden to prove/disprove. I am doing this as an example of how to make a claim and provide evidence to either prove or disprove that claim. It is objective and factual, even to my own detriment. I am making a demonstration of scientific method, not just empirical observation, so everyone can see the difference. (Of course, there is one more important part in this for you all to find.)
Now, to be clear, what happened here, like in many other topics, I got emotionally involved with my claim. People will use a plethora of logical fallacies as arguments when this happens. I, myself, used one here in trying to shift the burden of proof to you. When someone gets too emotionally involved with a discussion or debate, the intelligence of the topic devolves rapidly in many cases. Thankfully that did not happen here.
It all comes down to standing by a claim, and accepting when it's wrong. I made a array of claims, many of which were wrong. Fortunately, everyone, including me, gets to benefit from my erroneous assumptions with factual data. That's the beauty of science.
There were a few other things I learned from this, as well:
1. Critical hits are calculated twice per basic attack when a rune is equipped on the weapon, as in many cases I would see either the base or rune damage critical hit independent of each other.
2. Wraiths normally have no strengths/weaknesses, but take on the strengths weaknesses of elemental demons to which they are in close proximity (should have been obvious, yes, but I honestly did not think about it).
3. The final hit in a staff's combo chain seems to guarantee a status proc from the elemental type (Fire=Burning, Cold=Chilled, Electric=Shocked). I noticed this when using the Mindchill staff of a Despair Demon, and noticing each time I'd do the multi-shot basic attack, it would always show up with three "Immune" messages in addition to the Cold and Spirit damage.
And for reference, here is the video:
