Eagle eye providing ranged *and melee* critical damage ?

The tooltip actually says that eagle eye increases both melee and ranged critical damage.

While it "kinda" makes sense to have such universal bonus when you get better sight perception, I think that's not a good idea to make this that way.

If this is intended, melee warriors will now have to train bows to get the maximum critical damage hits. Another move into the "soft caps are no longer useful", which is a concern (at least, for me, it is).

 

I don't think it passes over, Or I would be getting bonuses from polearms, bludgeon, bows and swords all together. It would be insane.

 

No, it shouldn't. Just above the bonus damage wording, Eagle Eye reads, "... with ranged weapons". Likewise, Bec de Faucon in pole arms reads, "... when a pole arm is equipped". If anything, they need to edit the bonus damage wording for both Bec de Faucon and Eagle Eye. Bec de Faucon should read something like, "+##% melee (pole arm) critical damage"; and Eagle Eye should read something like, "##% ranged critical damage".

 

I think its just for weapons that use that skill tree. But I wouldn't be surprised if the tooltip information was just pulling description strings off of a table.

To be honest, I think a lot of them should be more specific than this. So I think Angles for the Shield skills should read something like "+## Damage Resistance on Front Face" because a lot of people have the impression that it adds to your general Damage Resistance stat pool.

This has already been patched in the meantime and eagle eye still grants melee (and ranged) critical damage bonus, in the tooltips. I can't say if this is intended or not.

 

Doubt it since there is a Required: Ranged that goes red if you don't have a bow equipped.

 

Basically a weapon innate only works for that weapon. In the moment you use another weapon, you don't have any stats from ranged tree.

This game has wrong tooltips/descriptions since first day, they fixed some but still needs work.
