Questions about companions and weapons

[Sombrero]

Does anyone know with certainty the following:
- whether stats from all weapons apply to your entire build. I feel that each weapon applies only to itself and nothing else but I'm really not sure either way. I checked my %stagger stat because I had an orb giving +30% but then my general stat would not rise while the bonuses from my amulet would make it rise so I assume it's working only on orb attacks.
- how the f*** exactly works the "Attack my target" mechanic because I feel there's a million different ways to interpret it. My best guess is that if your ally deals damage to a target you hit very recently the effect triggers and goes on cooldown.
- but then there's a lot of companion stats I have no idea if they apply to the companion or Rook. For example companion armors have a LOT of %ability damage on them but I imagine it boost their own abilities right? It would snowball Rook completely out of control otherwise. But then is it also true for the "Attack my target" buffs? Do they all apply to the companion and not Rook?


I'm liking the game quite a bit but there's too many mechanics that are needlesly not transparent at all despite not being complex at the same time.

Just tell me if my choice is increasing my damage or not videogame please, it's all I'm asking from you.

I ended up on this while trying to search whether you got the bonuses from both weapons you have equipped. I can't find any concrete answers.

I believe the Attack My Target mechanic kicks in when you use the commands at the top of the radial menu. Maybe someone else can confirm that.

Yeah my experience is the same with the attack my target I used a very long boss fight where I was underleveled to test it and yeah. It seems the icons appearing next to the enemy disappear after 30s roughly like the cooldown of the bonus (which is weird too because very few attack my target state that they have a cooldown but they all seem to have the same).

Attack my target might be the weirdest and worst design feature of the game I feel. It's cute on paper but boy is it clunky to use, confusing and very underwhelming in terms of power (the vulnerability one lasts probably 3 seconds top it's so pointless lmao).

Since I wrote my initial post I also founda bout enchanting skills which by the way the game I don't think ever tells you about. And it's unclear if enchants apply to just your skill or to all of them (but I assume it's to just the skill since it makes more sense that way as each skill has en chant they don't necessarily share with others).
