Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Cloudstinger air weapon

Guys, I noticed in the forums people talking about spiritual attacks not being raised by the skills..is air the same way? It's a nice sword but since I don't get any benefits from any skills when using it, what's the point? Or is there some way to raise air and i just haven't found a teacher yet or something.

Cloudstinger does air damage, so if you want benefits, you'll need a two handed air skills... I'm not sure wether this exists though...

The way you have to see it is this: When you get a weapon, it doesn't just show how much damage it does, but also what type of damage it does. You have standard ones like slashing, crushing or piercing, and you have less conventional ones like air, shadow or bone.

You have to find the correct skill to match your weapon. If you have "warrior two handed crushing level 5 damage", it will only affect weapons with crushing damage, so it wouldn't count for cloudstinger... or mudstinger... or wavestinger...

And by the way, you should have much better weapons by now, at least if you learned sharpen, put maximum points into it, sharpened your weapons and then unlearned sharpen (which is a good thing to do periodically - you can afford it).

None of the stinger series of weapons sharpen to nearly the level of damage as the magic sword from the start of act 2 or various other weapons from the middle of act one on.

The cloud/mud... stinger are nice to use for creatures with a very low resistance to one element. I sharpened them (yes, apparently you can sharpen air... go figure) and put them on my A3 merc for the elementals and then their damage actually make a difference.
BTW: they are 1H weapons...

You can sharpen them, unlearn sharpen, relearn sharpen and sharpen them again? I didn't know that.

Not quite. Sharpen weapon works in levels. A level 4 sharpen will upgrade your weapon to level 4, but you won't be able to use the same level 4 sharpen on that particular weapon again. You can try to unlearn and relearn it, but until you have a higher than level 4 sharpen, you won't be able to resharpen that weapon. (Did that make sence?)

>You can sharpen them, unlearn sharpen, relearn sharpen and sharpen them again? I didn't know that<

No, that only helps if you learn sharpen to a higher level the second time, and then you can increase the sharpening.

Sharpen isn't exactly a useful skill to always have points in - so the point (pun intended) is that it is good technique to learn the skill, use it, unlearn it and put the points where they help you e.g. magic, traps or weapons.

no. youve got to just raise the skill up.. I'd just use it up to what agility level you have. and then unlearn it and get some other spell.

I really like the 20handed melee, 5 points in accuracy, 4 points in damage. helps ALOT.
