Talk:Nightmare Weapon

Does anybody know when the damage is reduced? I have onn, say, Favorable Winds, Melandru's Arrows (with an enchanted opponent), and Brutal Weapon, will it subtract 42 (or however much) from the final damage dealt, or simply from the base bow damage? Or somewhere in between?

Considering that it will steal the specified amount no matter how much actual damage you do, it could be very powerful if the aforementioned damage-boosting skills still apply. 404notfound 02:10, 16 July 2006 (CDT)


 * It will reduce the total that's lumped together to make up the attack's damage. --68.142.14.7 02:33, 16 July 2006 (CDT)


 * based on the damage calculation, negation and healing are applied at the end of the equation, so i'd assume everything counts --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 09:54, 16 July 2006 (CDT)

I wonder how this interacts with Illusionary Weaponry... --DaveK 23:20, 27 July 2006 (GMT)
 * In order to steal life, the attack has to be successful, to connect. Since while enchanted with Illusionary Weaponry bonuses that normally trigger On Hit will not trigger anymore, it would be useless. Even if it did trigger, you'd still have to recast the weapon after every hit that target ally makes. n00kie 10:00, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

With a Scythe?
I know Splinter Weapon will take effect on 3 foes (if 3 are in range). Since both Splinter Weapon and this skill say, "Target ally's next successful attack..." will this skill allow you to steal health from up to 3 foes? Frostty1 04:50, 3 October 2006 (CDT)
