Crossbow Damage Query

[flyingoffthetrack]

I’m a Mercenary and I’m moving around the wheel to get to some of the Energy Shield passive nodes, on the east side of the wheel, picking up Projectile Damage nodes on the way (as you do).

My question is: will these nodes increase the damage of ALL of the skills I use with my Crossbow that cause damage, like Permafrost Bolts and Fragmentation Rounds, or does the extra damage only apply to my “Crossbow Shot” skill?

Projectile should work for all bolts, but, I should mention, I switched awhile ago over to bows for all my mercenary builds, using an xbow only on my backup (alt weapon) slot. You can set it to just use the xbow to shoot out grenades and use the plasma burst (and emergency reload before it), then just use the bow for all the great abilities like Ice shot, snipe, and most importantly your basic attack (which can get a TON from quiven, and which you can't use with a xbow).

Should make quivvers work with xbows honestly to make it more even. It's too big of an advantage for bows.

Anyway projectile and Hit damage will work for just about everything you do with an xbow (or bow).

Physical damage can work as well even for rounds that convert to elements. Element damage will work for rounds that convert to elements as well.

Focus on projectile/hit as much as you can though, since it'll generally work with everything:)
