Gyrd Haewanes Stenes doesn't wok

[gresh]

I play wizard and equipped this scpter (made it soukdbiund).

The desccription says it should deal Raw Damage, and that after 200 such hits the scepter will upgrade itself to the next level. But I havn't managed to score a single raw damage hit using it.

Is it bugged or am I doing something wrong?

I have verified the game files.

I had it soulbound on Aloth for a short time before I equipped it on myelf.

What weapon is Aloth currently using in your party?
Is any of you two a blast wizard?

There are other good ranged weapons in the game:

Golden Gaze (arguably better than Gyrd)
Rod of Pale Shades (use in combination with Merciless Gaze (can also be applied via potion))
Pretty Pretty's Rib
Kalakoth's Minor Blights



Also if you use AoE buffs a lot - enemies dominated by Gyrd will likely be boosted by your own buffs too if they happen to be in the spell/aura area of effect.

Works for me. In the following game, Aloth had the scepter fully unlocked. I've transferred it to the player character:

Iirc raw damage should be done by regular attacks with that weapon. AoE wizard's per encounter ability and spells doing raw damage doesn't count.

Also it's worth to take Blast talent. Domination can proc on any target within range of the wizard's blast. Golden Gaze is even better, shoots 2 projectiles, each causing the blast and any opponents in the blast area can be affected by DR penalty.
