Hal900x 3 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Most gear pieces etc have a "modifier:skillname" property on them. This is before or after the usual bonuses you might see. I've got some shoes that say modifier: ranged weapons, followed by chance to evade 5%, physical damage +6.5%, etc. The ranged weapons modifier has no number after it. Another pair of shoes might have Shield Lore, etc. So far it's always been just one of these blank modifiers on each piece. How does this work? Does it boost the numbered modifiers on the item by a multiple of the "modifier" skill? Link to comment

There is no number next to it. You mean to say I am not getting any of the 3 or 4 different stats on the item unless I have the modifier skill? Link to comment
Augmint 109 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) All the bonuses you can see work as usual. If you have the modifier skill a new bonus is available. There are exceptions - you can get multiple bonuses unlocked on uniques that require an unlock skill - best example is Bone slicer (undead legion quest reward) which requires sword weapons skill. You get chance to disregard armour, chance to halve regen % and attack speed %. There are some modifiers that only come with mastery (75 hard points). You can get all channel damage mitigation on a chest piece - let's say 12%, with Armour Lore mastery you can get an extra single channel damage mitigation (usually physical) or if very lucky all channel again - so 24% on one piece.

Hal900x 3 Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 How can I tell what gets unlocked? Because even if I do have the skill, it still only says something like "modifier: ranged weapons". There is still no number after it whether it is unlocked or not. Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Are you talking about the words just under "Two-handed" in this picture for example? That's just letting you know what skill boosts the weapon. Link to comment
Augmint 109 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Flix - Hal900x is asking (I think) which of the multiple modifiers shown is unlocked by the skill. So in your example the unlocked modifier from ranged weapons I believe is chance opp. cannot evade. There's no indicator that specifically was unlocked if you have ranged weapons (or in case of uniques haven't looked at the wiki) Edited June 13, 2018 by Augmint Link to comment
Popular Post Androdion 870 Posted June 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2018 If that's the case then you just need to press ALT when hovering over the item and it'll show an asterisk next to the skill that unlocks the bonus, as well as right next to the particular bonus. It's the same key you press when you want to compare an item in your inventory against an item that's already equipped. 2 Link to comment

Still playing, just haven't posted in a while. Link to comment
