Wait...

Does that mean a D9 bless makes the unit wielding the +2 AN damage weapon gets to ignore the opponent's shield parry?

When a shield parry happens, it doesn't deflect all damage, just adds to the defender's armor. So, if a death bless weapon is stopped by a shield, the weapon's regular damage will have a much tougher armor roll to make, but the death bless damage/effects will happen as usual.

Oh, so only the 2 points would go through? And only if they fail their MR check? Boo, death bless still sucks.

Death bless does not suck. it has its uses. It won;t help much in early expansion, but aginst SC's death bless is a better one to have then a fire bless. Not to mention it makes evocation spells that much more deadly.

Just to add more detail, for those that don't know: there was a thread earlier somewhere, where it was revealed that the death bless applies to damaging spells (i.e. Fireball). The Fire bless does not.

--Although I'm not sure why a death bless would be considered better against SCs, except perhaps for suicidal infliction stacking...

Yeah if there's a MR roll involved I don't see how it would be useful against an SC, apart from the afflictions, which require you to actually damage them with your hugely outclassed sacreds.

If we're thinking of the same thread, the minor Death bless (increased affliction chance) affects all kinds of damage types, including spells, but the major Death bless only affects melee and missile weapons, just like Fire bless only affects melee weapons. If I've missed something about the armor-negating damage of Death 9 being added to the spells' own damage, I'd like to see the thread in question.
