+W explanation still correct?[edit]

Current wiki description: +1[W]. (A weapon that deals 1d6 damage per hit will deal 2d6 damage per hit instead, while a weapon that deals 2d8 damage per hit will deal 4d8 damage instead. This affects the base dice associated with a weapon any time they are rolled, including critical hits.)

My comment: Is that still correct?

  • I know this is the original definition. Of course the early game is super strong with this.
  • But from my understanding - in recent patches - they changed +"1w" to being "+10%" instead. So that it would scale into the later game...
  • Perhaps they didn't update this tooltip. (I noticed at least one other tooltip which wasn't up-to-date)

  • I'm not sure about the in-game tooltip, but you're correct that the [W] component was reworked with U62 - I've updated the wiki's description to reflect this. (The tooltip was shockingly outdated anyway - it appears it was written before weapons with more than one weapon dice were introduced.) PurpleSerpent (ContribsMessage) 11:33, February 17, 2024 (EST)
  • OK, having checked in-game, the tooltips are still wrong - I've dropped a note on the forums so hopefully this'll be fixed soon. PurpleSerpent (ContribsMessage) 12:13, February 17, 2024 (EST)
  • Scratch the above - turns out U62 didn't affect those feats because they're passive bonuses, and the U62 changes only removed [W] bonuses from active attacks. PurpleSerpent (ContribsMessage) 13:12, February 17, 2024 (EST)
