    Default PA Question

    With the change to weapon bonuses that happened with the last patch, or the one before it.

    Do you need to be using the weapon for the bonus or just have it equipped? I run Ranged Rogue, so my daggers don't see much use.

    Thanks.

    They just need to be equipped. If you have two of the same weapon type equipped, you'll get double the bonus (for instance, if you're dual-wielding daggers).

    Indeed. Basically its good to note doing melee damage you will make benefit of your ranged weapon bonus. While using ranged, your melee weapons will bring benefit of PA through those as well.

    As a bonus prize, Whetstones on melee weapons actually boost range dps.

    Addendum to this question: for a cleric, does a shield count as a totem? There are no nodes that boost shield so I'm wondering if it's covered under the totem ones.
