This needs to stop. You can’t just have the game hide the fact that some Blessings impart extremely significant benefits that can only be discovered by plunging headfirst into Steam guides that have analyzed the lua code to find stuff out. Not even Gameslantern mentions these things !!
‘Unstoppable Force’ doesn’t mention that it allows all Heavy attacks to cleave through shields and Carapace, if your cleave values are high enough.
‘Pierce’ grants a huge Cleave bonus on all ranged attacks that isn’t even hinted at.
‘Trauma’ extends the length of stuns on enemies by up to 60% ; without it, it would be a strictly worse version of Hammerblow.
‘Brutal Momentum’ : this is pretty old and popular so a lot of people already know it does NOT give you unlimited Cleave on headshot kill, but rather allows you to ignore the Mass of like, 5 enemies or something.
And there’s probably more I have forgotten or don’t know about !
It says +50% cleave when it’s actually -50% enemy hitmass reduction so 2x your cleave. It’s not exactly misleading about working on the bayonet stabs as well as shots, but it ain’t exactly clear either.
And another that just came to me. Ghost says it makes you immune to ranged attacks. It doesn’t tell you it actually makes you count as “dodging” ranged attacks, which is very relevant to a heap of talent synergies and the desperado blessing. You’d simply never ever guess ghost procs duck n dive, reciprocity, desperado, duelist etc by reading the descriptions.
They also hide restrictions too…like ‘Limbsplitter’ which is meant to reset after 2 seconds…but the text doesn’t mention that swinging within that window also resets the timer back to zero…which substantially changes the behaviour (and makes it a pretty grim choice TBH).
Like, why hide such crucial information? Frankly bizarre.
