What do certain item attributes in Dungeon Siege 3 mean?

Question

In Dungeon Siege 3 certain items have enhancements and there is no indication about what they actually do.

I'm specifically curious about these qualities:

  • Retribution
  • Bloodletting
  • Doom
  • Warding
  • Vampire
  • Weakening
  • Withering
  • Momentum
  • Stagger

How are these properties affecting my game play? Other traits are self-explanatory (blocking, agility, armor) but the ones mentioned above have totally eluded me.

Answer

These effects are described in the help topics (if you hit esc, then choose Help Topics). Basically they just affect combat damage in various ways. Specifically:

  • Retribution: sometimes damages the attacker when you get hit
  • Bloodletting: sometimes causes bleeding when you hit enemies
  • Doom: increases critical strike damage (I think)
  • Warding: I checked this; it provides a chance to stun enemies that hit you.

Sure excited for this game to be out for real though!

  1. this is terrible. Why when I search the web for item mod info on DS3 this is all I get? One answer that does not even apply to the PS3 as their is no esc key and only partial suggests explainations for 4 mods and "doom" they are not even sure about even though apparently they can get info on the PC version by hitting ESC.

    Total fail. The game makers, this forum and the person answering. Fail, fail, fail!!
