Ruffian passive question

Does the ruffian passive also give bonus damge from spells while you're dual wielding? Or is it just physical damage skills?

    It increases your spell power if you use 2 swords so it should increase the damage from your magicka abilities.

    An easy way to double check is to look at the tool-tip damage of an bility. Then put on two swords and check the tool-tip damage agian to see if it has increased. You can also test the damage on a mob before and after dual wielding.

    Okay thanks. I'll check it out. Would be nice if console had damage numbers so I could actually see for sure if it works.

    Ruffian is extra dmg vs cc'ed targets. Only works with dual wield skills

    No it does not increases spell power that comes from having two weapons not just swords you have two base spell power instead of one the passive only adds damage vs stunned

    To op the passive ups damage vs cced enemys for any abilty spell or weapon based not just dw abiltys as long as its casted using two weapons

    So if I cast lava whip while dual wielding against a cc'd enemy, it gets the bonus?
