Direct Damage Weapons

[Bridge Trent]

Anyone know know what the range stats are for on weapons with Direct Damage? eg Tuskers Old Wound

 

[old.Freda]

If you do the shift + I it should tell you the range of the DD and any other info available on the stats of the weapon.

I want to know what the range means on melee weapons on the shift-I info please

 

[Tranquil-]

So do I.

When you see a weapon with DD does it work just like a proc?
Is it triggered, ranged, etc?

Is it true that all of them are procs and are triggered at a random hit? Does it only count in meleehits? Ie. is the stats on a weapon with a dd that says range 1500 just bugged? and should say proc? The bow of doom has to be a special case since it procs with the arrows, does it proc?

Enlighten me, I'm confused.

As far as I can work out.....the range on Shift-I is because its a spell, and all spells have a range and/or a radius. It just so happens that for melee weapons, it only procs when you clobber something, so obviously the target will be at point blank range.

I don't think its a bug, its just my guess that the spell info they put on proccing weaps all have ranges (maybe looked up from a spell table or something).

Not sure how proccing ranged weapons work though, never played a ranged attacker high enough to have one.

And on the subject, another thing that makes me laugh. Caster staffs that proc IN MELEE lol. Poor casters, get uber procs (I got a few staffs from Malmohus that procced a 300+ dd) but can only use them when they are hitting stuff with their stick (not generally a recommended caster tactic at high levels)

x-bow

I suppose the dd must have a spell equivalent then.
Anyone heard of a proccing X-bow?
It would maybe make it the only reason to use one apart from for pulling. Have any armsmen ever (strangely) specced highly in X-bow?

Well i am guessing but take for instance my passive proc shield, it can proc when something hits it ... Lets say an archer shoots me and I block, might be possible the proc hits him if he is within range of it. This is just a theory, not sure of it.

 

[old.chesnor]

Sounds feasible for shields. But weapons hmmm.

I did read that armour drops with procs only proc when that part of the body is hit. So proccing gloves with a range of 1500 could proc if you are hit on the hands from a ranged attack. I am not sure if there is any armour with procs in 1.45, but I know that armour with procs are available in DF (and weaps that proc bladeturns yum yum)

I have heard about armsmen speccing high xbow, they seem to do good damage. It's what I heard, not sure though.

 

[Flimgoblin]

An armsman with high-spec crossbow should do similar damage to a longbow.. i.e. not bad at all

However the range will be much less than a scouts.

Could be an interesting choice...

About proccing bows... I don't think there's even one in the game, because the casters that whine about archers would be yelling "NERF!" with a megaphone

[old.Atrox]

Couldnt it be as simple as;
to cast a spell you need a range, so that the game know if the taget is in range or not, so even thou it's a melee proc, you need range to cast it, without range even Head to Head is to far away.
I dunno just a thought...

 

[old.chipper]

could be atrox but would be very simple coding to change the word range to proc i dunno though i think some things in this game are meant to be not understood like why make a cabalist,
