Barbarian question? Do barb abilities work with ranged attacks?

[Teclis23]

So Does

 

- Barbaric blow

- blooded

- Carnage

- Blood lust

- One stands alone says +20% melee damage ? So is that for ranged aswell?

- Interupting blows says Melee aswell

 

If this is the case Barbarian would be better rangers then rangers lol

Pretty sure only barbaric blow works for ranged.

Also, if it says +% melee dmg it applies to melee only

ahh ok so Melee means only hand to hand combat not with bows and guns?

Absolutely, unless you get a mod to tweak some of the abilities.

Blooded, Bloodlust and Blood Thirst work no matter what you use. They are not tied to weapon use at all.

 

Melee = hand-to-hand combat. No ranged combat. Only exception is Instruments of Pain which gives your melee weapon a +500% range increase which makes it a ranged weapon - but abilities tagged with "melee" will still work.
