Some weapons as Mitril tide, the bane of dark elves should really do higher damage to drows, but since it does not do magic damage it does not, well....it is after all mithril....magic damage or not it really should be changed as iron weapons for elves and such...
some weapons
There's always one playing this tune eh?
As has been stated before by many (including Virigoth) the mithril vuln on drow, iron on elves etc exist to stop these races having access to certain items and thus balance a strong race.
The only skill capabale of taking advantage of these vulns is throw via cards/daggers/shurikens - and I can't remember if daggers/shurikens still did this. I'm 99% sure cards do.
If you used the forum search function I'm sure you could find a nice long thread or two already on this.
Please drive through.

Ranger and Bard throw take advantage of it from what I recall, and I believe Thief and Ninja do as well, only difference is their throws are a lot weaker compared to Ranger and Bard throw.
Probably I said something about weaknesses and overpowers??? read my post again before posting. I mean, if this mithril weapon does do nothing to drows, why not remove it from game?Yes, for making shurikens and others, good....but the GREAT bane of dark elves is nothing more than a basic spear at it's lvl...there are other weapons like that, that was just an example. My post is not about weaknesses and powers, I know of the posts you speaks and I am quite sure that between races and classes, rightly choosed are nearly balanced, but call it steel tide or tide of ...something, but that name...
Well, sharped into a dagger, card or shuriken, or thrown by a ranger, it indeed IS the bane of drows. 
1 swallow cannot do spring, as 1 shuriken/dagger/card cannot do much, including from 20+classes only few can use it... +calm state and ~10 hours requesting....
Actually, weapon wrath damage also strike vulnerabilities based on weapon material. You know, like this:
A katana digs into an ooze's body.
Your wrath injures an ooze.
There is a sabre in one of the new areas that is made of mithril and does the digs into body thing, meaning it hits the drow vuln with the wrath attack. It probably doesn't seem like much, but it all adds up I suppose.

True, but who will accept to trust only on the wrath?

Perhaps you need to master Meditation of Blades first, newb.

Wow, and people think I'm elitist.
As far as I know, charge still takes advantage of material vulns. Charge a drow with the spear, should do above par damage.
That's what I thought too Festy, along with ambush and backstab, but I wasn't quite sure.
Mithril tide is a great weapon, well, it would be if it had a higher damage rate, and wasn't 2 handed. It's barely a lvl 25 weapon. Get a dragon slayer:D .
Yeah as a two handed weapon its pretty useless. Unless you're a goodie giant warrior/zerk.
Meditation of blades, definitely. Very niice...how much?
LA... come on man. Don't call people newbs. We were all there. No one called you a newb, as I recall. I wish I could dig up some of your old posts
I remember mine on how dirt kicking was unfair because I didn't know the areas and couldn't run away when blind.
He is trying to explain himself, and although not right... he is right about the archaeic area made by Streant years and years ago. Streant even said he made the bane of dark elves before he knew that mithril wouldn't do vuln damage. Take a look at the citadel area really. It is due a facelift... and I just think venom was getting at that in a backwards way.

But yeah, I hate that word. Its like people who workout at a gym laughing at the poor schmuck who comes in on his first day and passes out at the treadmill...every one was there at one point or another, only way to learn is ask and only way to ask is here.
As far as that comment on wrath damage, Venom, Wrath is a very reliable damage source.
So is anything that adds burning, ice, acidic, life drain to a weapon. There is a socket that adds wrath and let me tell ya its quite nice.

Are you stalking me? For the last time I didn't pass out from walking at an incline of 3 and a speed of 2, it was because I had shortness of breath! Okay, so the shortness was caused by the walking, but I still stand by my word. Lack of air, not the treadmill!
I just remember my first time back at the gym a few years ago, thinking hey im only 25...yeah i was 18 the last time i did more than walk..speedily..but I am young!! Invicible!! and vomiting all over the parking lot.....
Course now my wife and I both run a 6 minute mile for time then jog a brisk 10 minute mile as a "cool-down" thee times a week...amazing how far you can come. 
Pardon the derail, :eek:
lol. Actually I started going to the gym back in October and I actually gained really fast on what I could do. Then in November I tweaked my back a little and my back was already blown out at the time hence the reason why I was going to the gym so it put me out and I figured I'd be good to go in a week or two. Then in December I was at work and made my back worse and it just steadily got worse and I finally caved and asked for surgery after more than a year of dealing with major back pain. God how I regret that one day at the gym, it was all because I decided to do more weight than what I knew was safe for me to do and of course me being me, I want to do the maximum amount possible just to do it and it gets me hurt. And one surgery later, I'm looking at possibly two more back surgeries and several months of work missed. I hate people at home and I miss work. Though next time I go back to the gym I wont be such a pain in the *** about wanting to do more weight that way I can heal faster and be ready for work again. As is standing for more than 5 minutes hurts and walking any distance becomes harsh (took me an hour to walk a damned mile and I'm not used to that along with the most excruciating pain I've ever experienced).
And Savnt, I still say dirt kick is unfair, but only when I'm the one being dirt kicked because I don't know the areas anymore.

Then do what I did at the time, pray a couple times then cuss the person out. Chueh will summon you, explain that you need to not stray from places you can't memorize yet... or work harder to memorize them. Clariana will pop in and give you muffins and warn you not to swear... you will be given a recall potion, and sent back to val miran center.
