doesnt work on demons
has a negative effect if used against angels
its huge btw something like a 30% increase in damage but only for melee - no arrows - no spells
drop down the mob status indicator thing (under mobs hp) and check if there is either "launches a dark attack" or "sacred attack weak point"
if i remember right the first one gives you about 10% more damage and the second one gives like 30% more
of course the reverse is true
if you see "launches a sacred attack" it will lower your damage when buffed with holy weapon
if you see "weak to dark attack" stay the hell away from it, when someone accidently buffed me with holy weapon before killing angels in argos i went from doing 100-200 damage down to like 50
for some reason that is not true for all mobs though so trial and error and if you are killing sacred weak mobs make sure you buff it
Is it safe to assume that a mob with the description "resistant to dark attacks" is vulnerable to sacred attacks (like solar flare) and holy weapon effect?

No. Read the monster discription bar provided by NCsoft.

too many mobs with "resistant to dark attacks" are not vulerable to sacred attacks
im thinking more of the otehr guys "launches a dark attack"
youre the elephant so you should know better than me but more often than not i find those guys take extra damage
either way its just trial and error for the ones you dont know about
just read the description of mob, if it has "weakness to sacred attacks" its affected by holy weapon buff...if not, its not, even undead mobs dark attack dark ressit w/e are not always weak to sacred attacks

Something true in this, but a lot of it is wrong.
HW works on Demon-type mobs, as long they are "Sacred Attack weak point" (Demons in the rift for example).
HW adds sacred attribute to physical attacks, including Bows. It adds damage to mobs that are sacred weak (ppl say undead instead of sacred weak because basicly all undead mobs are sacred weak). Mobs that have resist sacred attack recive lesser damage.
This has nothing to do if the mobs launch a sacred attack or not, just if they are resist sacred or sacred weak.
l2p just say its sacred physical damage, not how much, but I think it was +15% damage against sacred weak. Dance of Warrior adds 10% patk, if I drop warroir for light Ill do a bit more damage. And last but not least, HW and dance of light dont stack.
The bonus damage is monster-dependent, there are three different grades of sacred weak. They can get 5%, 10%, or 15% bonus damage from holy attacks. Currently there's no way to know how weak a monster is except manually calculating the bonus (e.g. comparing the damage of aqua spash vs. solar flare, taking power into account) to know how much extra damage you get. Hopefully they'll do what they did with things like pdef, and have a slightly holy weak/holy weak/strongly holy weak in the future.
This is true, they don't stack. But if your BD/group has HW on him/her I'd keep warrior. If you don't have a EE/PP/Bish with you then drop warrior for light if your on undead type....if it's a mixture then keep warrior up.
no since having light up if you got 3 undead's, and 4 demon type.
and the description for holy weapon says doesn't effect remote type atk's...so it shouldn't work on archers! I know I tested it, but I can't remember if it did work or not.

Doesn't HW description say that it affects PHYSICAL attacks? Not 100% sure and unable to check now while at work, but this is how I remember it.
Also not 100% sure, but I seem to recall some mobs having a 'passive' sacred weakness that isn't displayed, much like the angel type mobs in VoS take more damage from dark attacks even though it doesn't say they are vulnerable to dark attacks.
