Edit: My bad, this is not a bug. I did not notice that the feats that apply to user and allies, actually got updated to say so (before the recent skilltree update, they never did). Still, it would be nice to have this feat apply to the user as well.
If this feat also applied to the user, this would enable a more aggressive gun playstyle as well as allowing veteran players to restore some additional toughness by killing enemies with bleeds from a combat knife or chain weapon.
Out of curiosity, what abilities imply “allies” as inclusive of the player?
There are a number of talents that explicitly state “You and allies” (e.g. Auras, Demolition Team, Zealot’s damage reduction on you/ally receiving a hit) so I’m wondering if there’s inconsistency somewhere.
Ar you are right. They actually updated the descriptions.
Since they never specified “you and allies” before the recent update, i did not actually notice that they now made that destinction.
Anyway, imo that feat should apply to the veteran as well.
Not that I mind that suggestion, but the talent specifies kills with ranged weapon, does it secretly work for dots too? Also there technically is Out for Blood there to give you a bit of toughness from ranged and dot kills (well from any kill generally).
Edit: Just read what you said in the other thread about dots counting as ranged damage so I guess disregard the first half of this.
