As you all know special damage is very important in pvp so if you want think about it you need to know all the way to get those damage or to boost your resistance for those damage. That's why i have listed things here, and how i think they work.

There is a mistakes in game some Body element are not well translated and you will find Physical Damage instead of Body Damage, these ornament are really Body damage, it's just a translate mistake
Special Damage description Each damage name :
So first thing to know is how work this damage ?Simple : you get 200 yin (or Yang or Body or Soul) damage if the mob against you don't have any resistance for this damage you take him 200 from his life. Defense don't work on those damage !
In the case of Pvp it's the same way but damage are nerfed like every stuff in pvp. Also shield don't work against these damage (only some that are element damage shield).
Also there is a special relation between damage :

The damage will depends on mobs elemnt type. For example if you fight against a Yin mob like tibet first part and you use 1000 damage Yin pill you will do 1000 more damage. But if you use 1000 Yang damage pill you will do 2000 more damage on these mobs !

Tone of people said that Body and soul are something to do with the CK and Melee but it's a BIG NO. Special damage are special damage there is nothing to do with Chi Kung/physical damage/def. (If you see some ornament with "Physical" word it's an error of translate and it should be "Body")
