Dolor Amarus

Does Dolor Amarus passive effect work with unarmed attack of monks.
When I do hit critical strike with unarmed attack I don't see +7 bonus piercing damage from dolor amarus, but when I hit with a weapon it shows on logs.
Meaning... it doesn't work with unarmed at all or only unarmed from monks?

It says it is supposed to apply to unarmed attacks.

Your combat log should be telling you what really happened, though.

Are you playing on Honour Mode rules or regular rules?

Oops I didn't read that unarmed attack part in the Wiki. Hmmm...

Yes, I'm playing Honour Mode and combat log doesn't register dolor amarus damage when I land critical hit with unarmed attack. But when I do it with daggers it shows.
It's sad cause monk with surgical amulet that allows all attack be critical for 2 turns and 3 dolor amarus items, deal in sum 500 damage + 50 radiant/force/necrotic.

it wasn't there till patch 7.

I just tested it with my Monk: it didn't add the piercing damage with Unarmed Strikes. I went and found a video of a build used by a content creator I watch; eight months ago the dagger's trait read as such;

Dolor Amarus: When you land a Critical hit with this weapon, it deals an additional 7 damage.

The thing is, though, it would add the 7 damage to their bow attacks as well, not just the daggers. So it could be the case it only applies on weapons, not Unarmed Strikes.

I wonder if this is one of the many "damage riders" that was nerfed for Honor Mode. Perhaps someone could check on the behavior with a non-Honor game.

That wouldn't make sense, logically, when the dagger didn't mention it worked on Unarmed attacks until Patch 7. Before Patch 7 it just insinuated it worked on weapon attacks.

Hmm.

Oh well.
