Deathblows works for spells too

[Madscientist]

This is a quote from Boeroer (the best build builder around):

 

" It's not only Prestidigitator's Missiles - it's like that with all damaging abilites (including spells) that are not bound to weapon usage: they all don't work with Sneak Attack, but with Deathblows.

 

Apprentice's Sneak Attack and Sneak Attack don't work with any spell-like ability, only with weapon attacks. Deathblows works with every damaging effect. Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's intended, I don't know. "

 

I would definitely think that this is a bug, so I post it in this part of the forum too.

[Boeroer]

Why would you do that? Spells on Deathblows is the only thing that lets the rogue keep up with the rest of the classes in the late game.

It's hard to say if it is a bug or not.

 

- it's not a bug because it's tooltip[/color] specifically states that it increases all (just) damage.

- it is a bug because "+100% ranged damage" is either redundant, or should get applied cumulatively with "+100% damage".

 

All in all, it's a clear oversight which turned out to be a feature.

Best feature of high level rogues.

[Madscientist]

I think it is supposed to do " + 100% melee damage, +100% ranged damage"

They forgot the word "melee" and now it works for all damage.

According to your image, the question is if it makes 100% or 200% ranged damage.

 

Well, only the devs know what is intended and what not.

Or they don´t know it too and just declare it to be intended that way

It's far from the best feature of high level rogues but yep I reckon it was a bug that worked out ok

 

Well kind off......

 

Sneak attacks don't work with scrolls remember?

 

It's a conspiracy

So, I'm curious: which high lvl ability or feature of rogues is better than Deathblows (that work with spells)? Smoke Cloud? Shadow Step? Feign Death? Sap?
