Does using melee weapons help ranged attacks, and vice versa?

Question

Let's say I've found a crossbow which has a bonus to enemy dodge chance reduction. Will that help me with my melee attacks? And let's say I have the axe skill and am duel-wielding a pair of axes. Will my increased critical chance also affect my ranged attacks?

Answer

Any non damage modifiers on weapons(ranged or melee and even shields) apply to the character, regardless of what attack you decide to use.

If your axe skill increases a non-damage related skill(critical chance is damage related skill), it will apply to your character.

So yes, abilities you gain from items and skills that arent damage modifiers, but other bonuses, will apply to all attacks.
