They can choose to specialize in one weapon or fighting style or become more versatile, making them a valuable asset in any group.

Breakthrough
anonymous | Posted on Oct 6, 2024 at 7:00 pm

Does Breakthrough removes slow from getting hit and / or swapping weapons, throwing axes etc..... ?

anonymous | Posted on Nov 10, 2024 at 11:32 pm

Swapping weapons it does not count as a slow debuff but getting hit in any way does so yes breakthrough works when getting hit by throwing axes

Can item mods enhance Second Winds Healing Amount?
RydinDirty | Posted on Sep 30, 2024 at 2:11 am

I have a +3 physical healing item and was wondering if that adds +3 to the amount Second Wind heals? PLMK. TY!

anonymous | Posted on Nov 27, 2024 at 2:34 pm

Only buff duration makes second wind heal more by making it last longer.

Missing spell reflection info
anonymous | Posted on Sep 24, 2024 at 11:56 pm

Where is the description for spell reflection? Does this skill work when taking a defensive stance with weapons instead of shields?

anonymous | Posted on Sep 25, 2024 at 12:27 pm

i think now it is blocking with any weapon or shield will reflect spells not sure tho

Yes

Taunt
anonymous | Posted on Aug 1, 2024 at 1:05 pm

Can someone explain what "increases the aggro value to all monsters" means?

anonymous | Posted on Aug 1, 2024 at 9:04 pm

If some creature see's you, As well as another player, They will be generally more likely to target you, as you have a bigger "presence" so to speak

anonymous | Posted on Aug 25, 2024 at 5:07 pm

Does Taunt need to be used before or after attacking to make it's aggro mechanic work?

sword mastery
anonymous | Posted on Jul 3, 2024 at 6:10 am

when i use viking sword an short sword, do i get 2 weapon damage and 5% action speed for both of them or just one time?

Sur | Posted on Jul 4, 2024 at 12:53 am

good question, for some perks it applies only while swinging the weapon (see rogue), and some it applies while holding (see all enchants), not sure.

anonymous | Posted on Aug 11, 2024 at 8:52 am

You get 2 weapon damage for having ANY sword equipped and hold on hands. Not for EACH sword. So no, you don't get 2 passives.

Slayer Helmet
anonymous | Posted on Jul 1, 2024 at 7:29 pm

what helmets are eligible for the fighter when using slayer perk

anonymous | Posted on Jul 3, 2024 at 6:08 am

Only Leather Cap

Sur | Posted on Jul 4, 2024 at 12:04 am

Can't believe I didn't notice we were missing this specification, check https://darkanddarker.wiki.spellsandguns.com/Armors#Head now, you should see the relevant info in the infobox

anonymous | Posted on Sep 4, 2024 at 11:35 am

If you multi class and get warlocks Demon Armor perk you can use it with Slayer to wear ALL plate armors anyway

Perfect block - wrong description?
anonymous | Posted on Jun 9, 2024 at 12:33 am

The game description says "gain 5 impact resistance for the next 6 seconds" - is that the same as no stagger penalties? ... I guess it is, if it negates 5 impact from incoming weapons. Highest impact can be 7, right? And 7-5 is 2, 3 is the lowest impact rating for blocking ... which would negate stagger

Sur | Posted on Jun 20, 2024 at 10:35 pm
Does sword mastery action speed and move speed apply when blocking with a shield?
anonymous | Posted on Mar 31, 2024 at 11:30 pm

Does sword mastery action speed and move speed apply when blocking with a shield?

Grass | Posted on Apr 3, 2024 at 2:23 am

Action speed and weapon damage is gained when you have a Sword-type weapon out. Move speed is only gained when you are blocking while also having a sword-type weapon in your hands. Blocking includes longsword.

anonymous | Posted on Sep 4, 2024 at 11:37 am

The answer is yes

Does sword master stack with duel wield swords?
anonymous | Posted on Mar 25, 2024 at 11:29 pm

Not sure if sword master gives +2 or +4 dmg boost when duel wielding swords

Esthelion | Posted on Mar 29, 2024 at 8:36 pm

Only gives the bonus once.

Shield Slam
anonymous | Posted on Feb 27, 2024 at 1:50 am

Can someone help explain the scaling on shield slam damage, also does it do true damage or does pdr effect it?

Esthelion | Posted on Mar 29, 2024 at 8:41 pm

Shield Slam has a 100% scaling with your physical damage modifiers, meaning any Physical Power, Physical Power Bonus, Additional Physical Damage and True damage will boost it's damage. Physical Damage Reduction on your opponents will definitely reduce the damage they take from it.

slayer perk change?
anonymous | Posted on Dec 5, 2023 at 5:11 am

With the new patch Lanterns no longer count as a weapon and cant be used for slayer. Well if i have a short sword and a arming sword do i get the perk from both. for instance if they both have a action speed buff of 3% does that mean i get both or only one?

Esthelion | Posted on Dec 9, 2023 at 9:51 am

All the enchantments you have on either weapon will count for both.

Perfect Block
anonymous | Posted on Nov 25, 2023 at 12:50 am

Does Perfect Block mean you won't lose your block "charge" (sorry don't know how else to describe it). When holding block you can click and attack out of block, but if you block an attack you have to block again to do this. Similarly with Longswords, you can't really block multiple attacks without reapplying block. Does perfect block overcome this?

anonymous | Posted on Aug 1, 2024 at 9:20 pm

I can't say for certain.

But from what I'm aware of it should work for the Heater shield and the Buckler in at least the way you are describing as the "charge" is really just your shield getting staggered from the attack that lands.

If the impact power from the weapon is too low to cause a medium stagger you will essentially be able to have a multiple attack block.

Does Victory Strike work on ranged weapons?
anonymous | Posted on Sep 10, 2023 at 4:39 pm

?

anonymous | Posted on Sep 11, 2023 at 5:10 pm

Yes and it is very strong with the windlass crossbow(just be carful where you reload)

anonymous | Posted on Sep 11, 2023 at 5:11 pm

even works on throwing weapons

second wind regen
ckw | Posted on Aug 14, 2023 at 3:43 am

Will the Clarity Potion restore second wind regen's power

anonymous | Posted on Aug 14, 2023 at 12:55 pm

No

Does Slayer benefit 2h weapons?
anonymous | Posted on Aug 13, 2023 at 8:59 pm

The text says with a weapon in both hands, but im not sure if that means dual wielding only. Im further skeptical because the icon is two swords. However id love to know if it worked with longsword. Polearms and other 2h weapons but mainly the longsword.

Griffen T | Posted on Aug 15, 2023 at 8:57 pm

No, Twohanded weapons do not get the slayer perk damage increase.

Campfire second wind regen
anonymous | Posted on Apr 19, 2023 at 2:23 pm

How many campfires and of which rarity to regen second wind?

Ta1ha | Posted on Apr 20, 2023 at 12:12 am

Each tier of a spell requires 100 spell points to charge back. Second wind is tier 6, therefore it requires 600 spell points. Campfires generate 34 spell points per second. Therefore, you would need 18 seconds of Campfire regen, which equals to Poor rarity if you sit immidiately after putting down the campfire. You can learn more at Campfire Kit

def stance
anonymous | Posted on Feb 4, 2023 at 8:30 pm

what qualifies as defensive stance?

Ta1ha | Posted on Feb 5, 2023 at 3:42 am

Any blocking done with a shield or a weapon with block action.

anonymous | Posted on Feb 10, 2023 at 4:18 am

which weapon has block action? and how do i use it?

Ta1ha | Posted on Feb 12, 2023 at 4:09 am

Check Weapons, weapons with Block action, have "Block" in their data table.

anonymous | Posted on Feb 13, 2023 at 12:32 am

I'm not sure about others but I know Longsword has a block option

anonymous | Posted on Feb 18, 2023 at 12:27 am

riposte attack on longsword also counts as defensive stance, so you get the bonuses while attacking

anonymous | Posted on Aug 19, 2023 at 7:41 am

Hello! Projectile Resistance perk work on spells?

Esthelion | Posted on Aug 23, 2023 at 9:58 am

Yes, projectile resist will work against projectile spells like ice bolt, but not zap as it is hitscan.
