When equipping the Greatsword, you not only get increased weapon damage, but also spell damage.

    why is this a bug?

    to my knowledge all weapons inherently have a damage value that they will boost you stats by. Why greatsword or dual wield gives more spell damage than a staff is beyond me, but it has opened up some opportunities to raise dps.

    This commemoration is for the class that has constantly been plundered and diminished by designers for no obvious reason while other classes continue to have coherent skill lines and feel cool.

    Because there's only mention of the increased weapon damage in the tooltip.

    If it's a bug and they end up changing it, then they need to up the dmg on the 2 handed staves to match the damage of the Greatswords. I really don't understand why they aren't matched right now anyway.

    I don't think its been officially stated, but the melee weapons get the bonus dmg. The ranged weapons are a little "Safer" so you get less Dmg. Thats my idea for their reasoning at least...

    I dont see why though.

    Weapons were suppose to increase weapons damage except staffs for spell damage.
    Its a bug or I missed the memo.
    :d

    Like I wrote, this is an inherent property of all weapons. If this is a bug, then let it be the last one that is fixed -_-
