    i'm not sure about wich skull you're talking about, but if u mean skill i think it depends on the mob's elemental affinity, as well on the voodoo u have on(and if u have any). i don't remember this happening to me though

    It happens to me to when in the waters of the swamp around Wraithgate. Your dmg is half or worse without swimming in it,just standing in shallow water.

    It's not a bug. Your damage will automatically be lowered in water, even shallow water. I'm not sure why this is a feature, but it's definitely not a glitch.

    The point of the swamp is that it is a mix of water and land. When you are in water and attack a mob that is not in water you do half damage. When you are on land and attack a mob in water you do half damage. Same thing if one is in the air and the other on land/water. If both are in the same element you always do full damage.

    So the swamp is made so it is hard to determine what counts as being in water and on land. If you want to be safe you can always lure mobs up from the water so they stand on solid ground.

    It's not a bug or a glitch, and it's not because of the mob type or spell. The swamps are tricky because the game has a specific rule about damage. If you're in a different "land type" than the mob you're attacking, it only does half damage. Thus if you're in the air and the mob is on the ground or in the water, half damage. If you're in water and the mob is on land...half damage, and if the mob is in water and you're on land...half damage.

    In the swamps, it's very easy to be considered "in the water" when it looks shallow, and the mob may be in a different part that's considered "on land", so only half damage is done. To be safe, if you see a spell (any spell) does half damage, move to the closest body of land, since it's very rare that the game decides YOU'RE on land and the mob is in the water...
