My character is Sorceress. I found a magic melee weapon with one bonus being +100% chance to find magic items. I never use Melee attack only ranged attacks with magic. Will the +100 chance to find magic items still apply if I equip the melee item but never use it to attack?
Thanks!
Magic find on a melee weapon (Gull Dagger) applies for all attacks, including Sorceress spells.
As long as you don’t mean put it on swap and never switch to it, then yes. It needs to be your active weapon set. It won’t benefit you if you just park it on swap and leave it there.
Any properties on any worn gear apply to all scenarios.
If it has Magic Find, it applies regardless if you use the item physically or not.
Same for Faster Cast Rate, same for Gold Find, we for + To Skills, etc.
The only variable is that you must wear it, with the only exception being charms. Charms are active 100% of the time as long as they are in your character inventory.
What do you mean “on swap”?
Second weapon. Press W and it switches to secondary equiped weapons.
Thanks! Question: if I have a charm that adds 1-5 lightning damage, but I only attack using spells, do my spells inflict 1-5 lighting? Say a Glacial Spike, will that also have 1-5 lightning?
.+ Elemental Damage only applies to physical attacks.
Just the same, + Specific Spell Damage properties only apply to spells of that damage type… So abilities with a physical damage potential that also do any type of element will also benefit from it.
For clarity…
Adds 300 - 400 Fire Damage properties only affect physical attacks.
.+ 4 to Fire Skill Damage only applies to abilities that deal fire in some shape, way or form.
Thanks! Super helpful and thanks for answering so quick.
