Weapon Perks
Can someone answer this for me?
When having two weapons equipped (ie. fire staff / ice gauntlet)
Would a crit boost on one weapon add to the other? Or are they calculated separately?
Feels like a dumb question but I thought I'd ask

The passives like crit chance for example don't carry over from one weapon to another. So it would work as I've quoted above.

Separately.

The perks in the weapons skill tree only apply to that weapon.

I believe raw statistics stacks, but certain more specialized abilities like procs do not. Attributes definitely stack, and bonus crit chance should as well.

Note perks on shields do not stack unless you are actively weilding the sheild, so they do nothing on your back but add to your armor weight.

I thought he was referring to perks on the weapon itself rather than passive skill tree bonuses? Skill tree passives only work with the weapon for that tree of course.

Yeah thanks for the responses first off, much appreciated.
I was referring to, for example:
If I pick the passive: Spellslinger (+15% crit chance) does that also stack on my ice gauntlet passive Critical Frost (+20% increase crit chance in a frosted area)

So I would get a cumulative 35% on both weapons?
Or would it be 15% to the firestaff and 20% to the ice gauntlet
