Global stat vs normal stat?

[Mr RocknRoll]

What is a global stat? How does it differ from a normal stat on a weapon?

[The_Driver]

A normal stat is local if it can be local.

Say the old x% increased physical damage on a weapon. It only applies to damage from that weapon, so if you dual wield it doesn't apply to the damage from the second weapon. Global on the other hand means that it apply to your character, hence applies on the second weapons damage as well.

[Mr RocknRoll]

So overall you want Global stats because they enhance all of your character instead of just the "x" weapon

[▰▰ Kkaengi ▰▰]

yes, but global stats are usually less powerfull. with what are you trying to deal dmg in your build? main hand weapon? dual wield? a spell?

[Mr RocknRoll]

Oh I just started and my main hand says "40% global accuracy rating"
So this only applies while equiped right? Cant change to my other weapon set and still have that bonus right?

It has to be in your active weapon set to apply bonuses.

[Mr RocknRoll]

Roger that. Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.

[BONESAW]

think of it this way on a weapon local damage is a more modifier where as global damage is a increase modifier

[Mr RocknRoll]

Is there any reason why "x" character shouldnt be using "x" weapon? Like can my duelist use a bow? Does it even matter?

[▰▰ Kkaengi ▰▰]

you can use a bow with a witch if you want. the game gives you this freedom. if you can make a good build as a duelist archer then go for it. thats what build making is about.
sure there is a certain meta what usually is used. but nothing stops you from trying everything you want to. go for it and have fun.

[Mr RocknRoll]

Alright its good to have build freedom. Just curious.

global stats are usually useful for stuff like totems as they benefit from your global stats.

[Awesome!]

bow champion is actually very solid. champion being the duelist ascendancy class.
