Does "Holy Cause" only work if my equipped Weapon deals Holy Damage? - Pink Pencil on Open Bible Page and Pink

I am talking about this passive skill:

screenshot of skill in question

Judging from the description, it should increase my weapon damage by 10%, no matter which weapon I wield. The heal should only happen if my weapon has a holy damage modifier, but should still proc when I use skills that deal holy. However, in this discussion on the battle.net forums, people claim it only works at all if you have holy damage on your weapon.

Can someone clarify this please?



Best Answer

Originally in 2.0 this was the case - Holy Cause only worked if your weapon did holy damage. However, as of patch 2.0.5, Holy Cause now works with all weapon types:

Holy Cause
Damage bonus now applies to all weapons, not just Holy weapons

(taken from the Crusader section of the patch notes)

The date of the forum post you linked is from just after Reaper of Souls launched, and most likely before patch 2.0.5 was released.
