Weapon specific stats

Hello,

I have thought about this feature, like when a bow says it can chain more times, or if a hammer says it has more stun buildup.

Is that supposed to influence the skills you are using? Am I now supposed to use a chaining support gem instead of the ones I am using, because I am using this bow? Or am I supposed to think about whether that would make sense?

I can see the attempt here, but I think that maybe the gem system is too complicated (in the way that it is maybe too tedious) for players to really shuffle the gems around in that way whenever they find a new weapon.

I for one am now going to change my support gems, because of these stats on a new weapon I found, but I realized many times that I just ignore them. Sometimes you just want to power your way through the campaign or endgame or wherever you are (optimization seems more important in endgame though) and you start neglecting these little things. That doesn't necessarily mean they're poorly implemented, but maybe that the usage of these systems is too tedious and needs to be streamlined, but I am not sure.



In kind regards
