Off-Hand Procs?

[Arkat]

I am making a Swashbuckling thrower build. As such, I can have a Buckler in my off-hand.

For reasons I'm going to keep to myself, I am going to use a Dinosaur Bone Buckler.

My question is whether any of the effects placed in the first two slots (Weapon: Fang slot or Weapon: Scale slot) of the buckler would apply to my thrown weapon besides the spell mods?

There is a Wiki page for offhand procs, but it seems rather skimpy, so I am not sure if it's complete.

Thanks.

general rule of thumb, if it say's 'your attacks and spells', that's generic, so it means -yup- it will work on thrown when it's in your offhand.

What if it says "Adds Crystal and Byeshk material type. On hit: 15d6 Acid Damage"? I always assumed it wouldn't, but since the OP specifically mentioned this, does it?

The on hit should, the material types won't to my knowledge.

That one doesn't apply to main hand, only to the off-hand's attacks.

The first slot, scale, will not apply to thrown weapon attacks. The second one, fang, will apply to thrown weapon attacks.

You reversed those. Fangs are stuff like:
Adds Good alignment bypass. Your attacks and spells have a small chance to deal a large amount of Fire damage.
The bypass doesn't apply to mainhand, but the procs do.

Thanks, updated my post

So nothing in the Scale slot, then.

For the Fang slot, it will have to be some sort of alignment bypass or Brightfang/Shadowfang.

Got it.

You get the Acid proc with Meltfang, a good option if you don't have an Acid proc slotted elsewhere. If you have the acid proc on something else, Icefang gets another proc.

Yes, I was looking at Meltfang for the Evil bypass. My throwing weapon won't deal any sort of Acid damage except for the Meltfang proc.

The Icefang proc was also a consideration.

Thanks.

The bypass is only on the off-hand. You'll only get the proc from the fang slot.

Ugh. So, some unimpressive element proc, then.

Meltfang is not unimpressive at all.

Yep, it's one of the "mandatory" ones for decent DPS.

If you can, other bucklers offer a little more; eg. Cataclysmic for another LGS or another magma. Nothing wrong with Attuned Dino as MH instead to pickup 2xLGS if (like many, me included) you have lots of Dino runes & mats looking for a reason.

One of the things I *love* for questing and adds in raids is LGS salt and (unlike Dino) Cataclysmic can do that.
