Matt516 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I believe (not sure) that may be what "spell striking" means - procs spell on crit. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Well, it does say "spell striking" and the arrow touches when it hits. Sweet bow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDoomII Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It's obviously for melee hitting with the bow itself, and not with the arrows 1 Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I know I am starting to despair. WTF is the meaning of this: Why a bow that grants Jolting Touch? In which universe does this make sense? It seems to be a very nice bow, which causes jolting touch on crits. might make for some nice builds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spekko Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It would be nice if there was some explanation of what spell striking did in the mechanics cyclopedia or something. People on steam are saying it only works on the first critical hit of an encounter? Not really sure, honestly. I figured it was a percentage thing, like 5% or something, but I guess not. But maybe it is. I don't really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Interesting. The stats are different in the strategy guide: Cloudpiercer Range: 15m Interrupt: 40 (Average) Damage: 12-17 Pierce vs. Defl ection Shocking Lash: +25% Shock Damage Piercing Lash: +25% Pierce Damage Rending: 5 DR bypass Fine: +4 Accuracy, x1.15 All Damage Value: 1610cp he terror of the Great Eastern Ocean, Cloudpiercer was carried by a notorious sea raider who claimed to have been blessed by Ondra herself. His raids were carried out at the start of stormy weather, and gathering clouds were often feared as much as heralds of his arrival as of the storms they promised. The force behind his shots would carry his arrows up beyond the cloud cover, and they were said to bring the power they met there back down to the sea with them, striking all below with the force of a lightning bolt. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigranes Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Spell Strike, I believe, is a spell which fires on a critical hit with that weapon, once per encounter.

It's not the strategy guide's fault - stuff has been changing so fast before the release of the game that it'd be impossible to keep up. There are deadlines for committing changes in time to get everything proofread, printed, shipped, etc. And stuff has continued to change after the release of the game. Unfortunately, in the modern era of games with multiple balance patches after release, printed strategy guides are just less useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
