Melee Artificer Question

[Memnir]

Since I don't know for certain - thought I'd ask and see if anyone knows the definitive answer to this...



Does anyone know if a melee Artificer using either Bastard Swords or Dwarven Axes receive glancing blows with a Runearm equipped?

If anyone knows, I'd really be grateful for an answer. :)

Logic says it should work.

Yeah, which is why I thought it'd be prudent to ask. :D

The latest lammania version just before U11 hit it did work. I haven't purchased arti live yet. I made a pretty fun bastard sword swinging arti on there. Couple that dmg with full glancing blows with some pretty nasty runearm dmg and dps is pretty decent (good warchanter build dps). More than what I have seen out of most repeater arti's. Action points are really tough here though.

Artificers can get Glancing Blows when using a Bastard Sword or Dwarven Axe paired with a Rune Arm. I know when I did Tear of Dhakaan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ql0RAvWi5Q) with that combination the glancing blows popped up.

Thanks, LeLoric & MrCow!
I may go ahead with the build then. :)
