really?

What do you think about swapping the 6 APs from the Harper Tree that give melee power and put it into Know the Angle?

It is supposed to be, but it works last I checked.  You get both buffs on buff bar too.

Since last patch, know the angle gives me only ranged damge in effects window. After beating on dummy for several hits with /Wout with items i can confirm that it currently only adds ranged damage which also caused me to swap it out on my wolf build after a etr

It seems to work on my pally with SWF.  I will pay more attention and test again this weekend, but the icon definitely appears along with the DM icon in my buff bar.

I'm not surprised - I have not seen anything with an Epic damage flag (including the aforementioned Cannith Challenge items).

I do wonder if this is muddying the waters between weapon level (Heroic/Paragon/Epic) and damage type.
The first determines the base damage dice of the weapon, the second determines the type of damage delivered.

Tbh, I had not thought of Epic as a damage type - is that what it is intended as?

That being said, we do have the Shadowscale heavy armour with DR30/Epic.
I have often wondered, but never tested if this meant every Epic monster bypassed the DR?
if so, that would make it good for ROFL stomping Heroics.....?

Anyone tested this or understand what is going on with this?

Ya, apparently it doesn't stack unfortunately with any of my SWF attacks, however, that frees up APs for something else.

IIRC Most red and all purple named bypass it.

I might be wrong, Cinnis and Mentau would be good tests.  Edgar or whatever too.  I don't think the named in the explorer zone will however.  Few more levels before I can test it.  My first 2 28s were a bard and a monk =P

I remember where I first saw that at!  Was doing knights crypt when mobs on elite would bug out and become epic, one with all the shadow gargoyles and traps.  You could target them and inspect them; they had a buff on that said it gave them epic damage.  May be able to tell that way.

DR works vs Red Named.  I tested in Epic GH and Epic Orchard quests.

Epic Damage Reduction, Epic Fortitude(mainly for disintegrate), Imp Crit Bludgeoning for hammer swap vs abbot.
