I really like it. Just take the second passive that regenerates a point when dealing a crit hit and you're good to go

well welcome to wolcen my friend, where nothing works as intended.

the title is hilarious, as if the passive itself is being deceitful.

It is!
It lured me into investing points into it. And it didn't hold its promises. Almost like politics :D

Can confirm this is confusing!

especially if you also look at "Archion's Teachings" ... it says "attacks and spells that launch projectiles" ...

then later "... skills (attacks and spells)"

however it is not applied to most things:
e.g.
Evasion (the skill modifier says exactly the same and that works)
Autoturret (nope, projectile skill though!)

probably many many many more :P
​
​
so basically... what the hell is considered a skill?

ok so...if you are using a staff or anything that shoots those are consider projectiles. So it is not lieing you might just not be reading it right? Only way it would be laying is if you are using a melee weapon for your basics.

does this skill work with Bladestorm too? haven't tested yet, but it's flagged in the description as "projectiles: 1"
