Hullo All.
I have been working on compiling info on Blade Fury. It's a compelling yet confusing skill, as the skill description (bless Blizzard) is hardly informative and likely misleading.
As I understand, the blades are imparted with 3/4 of your weapon's damage.
1) I assume this means only your main hand? Or does it mean 3/4 of the total damage you would do in a regular melee attack with that weapon? For instance, wearing Gore riders and weilding a 20-40 damage claw, you would do, say, 100-300 damage with a normal attack. Would your blades do (3/4)*(20-40) yielding 15-30 damage blades + the amount of damage they do at their skill level, or do (3/4)(100-300), yielding 25-75 damage blades + the amount of damage granted by their skill level?
Elemental damage adders are also added, I know.
2) Is this elemental damage from anywhere, including a left-hand claw and amulets/rings/armor/helm/shield (Tiamat's, for example). Is the elemental damage penalized or does it stay whole, whereas physical damage from your weapon is reduced to the 3/4?
I have observed only amplify damage castings with the claws.
3) I would like to know, however, if anyone has tried seeing if the Chaos runeword has Frozen Orbs casting out from your blades that 9% of the time, or whatever. I have not observed (due to the lack of legit items and items to be imported for testing) Crescent Moon's Static field coming into play, but I have heard that it indeed does.
4) Does freeze monster work with Blade Fury? For instance, does the Axe of Fechmar and Iceblink grant any type of freezing quality to the blades? Would only the Axe do it, since it is being weilded, or does the armor count as well?
5) Has anyone tried using Tiamat's and observing the chance to cast spells working with the blades?
6) Though AR is not listed for BF, I have noticed frequent misses. This implies another lovely display bug. Anyway, does anyone have a way to calculate the AR for BF? I suspect it may have to do with AR bonuses from weapons, but does the skill level of BF affect the AR of the blades?
7) Do BF and crushing blow work together like a ranged weapon, doing 1/10 damage to monster hp every time it activates? I may not recall correctly but I believe it to be around 1/10.
8) Does +% damage to demons/undead transfer to the damage done by BF? For example, would weilding Laying of Hands make your BF more effective vs. demons?
9) Does deadly strike work with BF?
Anyway, thanks to anyone who can answer even one fragment of my long series of questions. I have tested all I can, but I don't trust my own testing because I've rarely done it, it is hard, and my lack of items makes it pretty impossible. (Please see my other question about where to find an item package :rolleyes: )
Thank you very much.
Buena Suerte.

In war, intelligence is the single greatest commodity.
