confused about int stat some info needed
I found a hammer with int and thought to put 300 in int with a lightning gem but now i deal only half damage so what's the point of these gems??
Am i missing something????
Also why is damage of those bouncing perks in weapons not scaling with int???????
It's really confusing.

Hammer does not scale with INT.

^ picture shows the weapons above the stat to show scaling.
Altho they still havent colored the weapons to show the 2nd scale vs Primary.

I put a gem in that says damage scales off weapon stat or int, witch ever is higher so i assumed that my lightning damage would increase with more int but i guess not.....

Yeah, that would be the most intuitive way you would hope it worked, which could make character builds be anything and fun, like an INT hammer build.

BUT.. because a Hammer doesn't scale with INT.. your damage will be considerably less.
So the gem damage will be less because the weapon its in cannot be fully utilized without the correct stats.

GEMS are mostly used for the resistances on monsters, unless PVP.

I guess that would be to much fun lol
And i guess that the description on these gems is just wrong?
I don't understand the damage scales off on INT part ..... what int ?????

some mobs are more vulnerable to elemental damage so using different gems are good for dps sometimes
i have everything that is not needed for con in int and focus because i like the voice gauntlet as main weapon and prefer to survive solo.
so using that various elemental gems for the secondary slot with a sword or greatsword make that scale almost half of the weapon damage with int.
with a lot of weapon swapping when in melee range the loss of damage because of low str and dex can be compensated with blocking and grit while being solo at least as long my voidblade is on cooldown.
putting such gems on is good if you are not a tank and if you prefer to do damage with magic also you must not care if you are not using something that is not at maximum effectiveness and have more challenge outside pvp and chestrungroups.

I mean it would be awesome if it worked like that, but also make character leveling for stats pointless, unless they made stats gain-able from doing stuff.
Which would still be cool, because it would feel more like an RPG/Ultima Online.

So if you have 300+ INT.. and a weapon that scaled with INT, your gem would be good.
But it would suck when fighting monsters that are resistant to the type of element from the gem.
