The different wording is very confusing:

 

The clickable passive only talks about "Weapon critical hits" or "Self on critical hit"  -> +1 Phrase.

Same goes for class description at char creation and the clickable Sklad passive in the skill tree.

 

 

Only if you then go to the current effects of the Character Sheet it says: +1 Phrases on critical hit with meele weapon"

 

 

 

So I'm wondering. What is true? Is it all weapon crits (making ranged builds possible) or not?

It feels like it works with pistols, but I'm not sure because its hard test, I cant force a crit.

 

Thanks for some insight into that.

You are in the wrong forum. This is PoE1 char builds, not Deadfire.

Skald: only melee weapons. Once you crit there's a chance that you receive a phrase point.

Have you rechecked this ingame?

Iirc there was a mentioning about 'melee weapons' in subclass' description, but I don't see it anymore:

 

I did check it in beta, not in the final release yet (didn't try a Skald in the final game so far).

 

May be that it changed.
