Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General A few weird skill.. things

1) I can use Battering Ram and Blitz attack with a character that uses a bow, and the damage of these skills scale with bow damage.

2) Battering Ram and Whirlwind scale bonus weapon damage like fire or air, Blitz attack, Overpower and Crippling blow don't.

3) Enhanced arrows scale completely separately from bow damage.

Battering ram gets bonus from fire and air?

Bow lets you use melee skills and scale them?

Special arrows scale how then!?

@_@ So confused.......

Battering Ram deals not only physical damage but also whatever element or extra damage that the weapon implicit has yes.

If you use Battering ram with an elemental weapon like a Staff or Wand ( Wands ) it will be 100% elemental.

Battering ram and Blitz strike are not considered melee skills by the game you can use them while having any weapon equipped.

Special Arrow damage scales with level I guess, but I am not sure..

None of the Bow skills also scale with implicit elemental damage of the Bow, which is really weird, that means that elemental damage of the bow only comes into play when you basic attack.

If I remember correctly, that works for quite every warrior skill, if you use a staff, because it counts as a melee weapons.

No, Crippling blow for example is still physical even with a Staff, Battering Ram and Whirlwind are the two that scale elemental.

Edit1: Actually scratch that, after some testing I understood that all skills still scale damage, but some if not most of them convert all the damage into a specific damage type.

Edit2: Btw, I just discovered a few of these things recently, and tbh I just want to see how cool it is for a bow or a wand character to Ram through an enemy when they get up close to reposition and knock them down at the cost of 1 AP.
