Because you have 120 weapon skill (magery) with 90 tactic and you’re now able to use things like mortal strike and poisoning or concussion blow. That skill is made up with other items. Very effective in securing the kill.

No. When you equip a mage weapon it turns your magery skill into a defensive skill. If you have 120 magery and equip a -20 mage weapon you now have 100 defensive combat skill. Negating the - magery skill from the weapon with jewels allows you to have 120 magery/defensive skill, giving you a free 120 skill points.

yeah it's all about saving the skill points and still having a wep skill for dodge/parry chance

it's purely defensive, but with +20 magery jewels you can be 120 wep skill and magery still. the high value ones have more defensive stuff on them like dci

sc, fc, mage wep, dci - is good 4 mod role
cos you dont need di it doesn't need to be crafted too, so you can get 5 mod ones

I think you are trolling, but i'll bite. If you have a weapon in your hand but dont have the proper weapon skill for said weapon then you get 0 benefit from it. If it is a mage weapon and you have magery it turns your mage skill into a defensive weapon skill(you cant use specials).

I coulda swore you could use specials back On Osi. Haven’t tried it here. I know it drips magery by the amount that’s why I alluded to the fact you can make that up with items jewels.

that's a bit OP, and opens up a lot of possibilities

(that you can use specials that require ninja/bushido without needing the wep skill)
