Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Does Mana/Life Leach work for ranged attacks?

I have 3 questions:

1. I know that in the skill menu it says that life and mana leech only work for melee attacks. What about if I enchant it on a weapon though? Will it steal life or mana every time I use an arrow?

2. Ive heard that 99% of enchantments aren't very good, what are the few best formulas to look out for?

3. Does exploding arrow do simply a set amount of damage? Or does it do a set amount of damage and also combine with your regular damage?

1: I believe the Life/Mana Leech skills only work for melee, but weapon enchant versions work for whatever weapon it is on.

2: Increased Damage/Magical Damage for weapons is essential. Armor does well with Melee/Ranged/Magic Protection and Life Line. Jewelry are all mediocre except Healing Aura, but all levels require a (very limited) Malachite Gem to put on. Static Charge Aura is the best otherwise, probably.

3: Set damage. Only thing that matters is your critical chance (weapon rate + death blow skill) and heightened reflexes bonus. Some enchantments may activate (like life/mana leech), but damage ones won't.

Thank you! That was very helpful
