Weapon Skills and Combat Arts

[Nevao]

<p>Weapons skills do not appear to be affecting the damage on Combat Arts. My guess is that it works for Spells since they have a skill associated to them. I have verified it works on with spells (using a warlock and Dark Pact) but when I try with scouts non of the damage ranges change when switching in and out of offensive stances.</p>

<p>Weapon skills have never made an impact on CA damage. It's only meant to make sure you can hit mobs.</p>

<p>I asked Xelgad, since there was vagueness to the notes on skills overcap, and he said it should affect both weapon damage and CAs.</p><p>I did validate weapon skills are affecting weapon damage though.</p>

<p>Ahhhh gotcha. Didn't know that was happening with uncapped skills. Thanks!</p>

Just trying to make sure we have the proper expectations.</p>

If this isn't working on CA's that is a pretty major issue in regards to class balance and needs some quick attention

It wasn't ealier, but I'm not sure if they fixed it over the weekend and have just not pushed the patch yet.</p>

<p>i just retested this just by toggling my off stance base damage on Ca's did change. one thing i did notice was it not showing in the hot bar examination that it is increaseing you have to unexamine a CA and reexamine it to see the difference</p><p>Uncle</p>

<p>Make sure you note that if you're a Crusader, Weapon Skills will only affect your combat arts. You will need to work on Spell Skills (Disruption, Subjugation, Ordination, Ministration) to affect your Spells the same way.</p>

Bards will suffer the same problem, especially the already suffering Troubadors</p>
