Items with bonus skills and who can use them

[Jago]

II have a question about the items with bonus skills (like poison, shield bash, ecc.).

The character using them should potentially have the skill (i.e. a ranger should use an item with the poison bonus skill and not a mystic) or they work for every character?

The times I have checked the combat log I have seen no effect from the items with the bonus skills so it is hard to judge.


A second question: they use mana if that is needed to use the skill?

Every character can use the skills from their currently equipped items. These skills however require spirit. And not all skills are visualised in a report- some of them need to be casted successfully, in order to be seen- e.g, a hero might attempt to use the Ambush skill- in the detailed battle report it will say you have made an attempt, but only if you deliver a critical hit will it say that you have used the skill successfully (and will take some spirit points for that).

Thank you. Nice to know.
