ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Read title. I know it has something to do with procs, but no idea how it affects them.

It increases the damage of any additional damage done by the attack.

Is that equipment procs only, or does it apply to any procs from that it? And will it also apply to "+X [Element] damage" modifiers?

Any.

I don't think it applies to additional damage. I don't see any variance in Weapon of Light damage output and that's large enough that a few points difference in the attack roll shouldn't be swallowed by roundoff error. I think only on-hit effects more complicated than adding constant damage are considered procs.

There are very few weapon procs outside the arcane blade. Some shield egos have procs and Shield of Light and Flexible Combat might be procs, but outside a couple classes staves and most shields may as well have no accuracy bonus.

It increases the damage of anything that follows a melee swing, including Greater Weapon Focus procs. I had a Shadowblade get the 6000 damage in one hit achievement before staff melee was nerfed and rings of focus were removed.

So bulwarks can also get some benefit. I don't think anyone else gets that talent anymore. I still don't believe that simple damage on hit effects like Weapon of Light qualify.

The staff accuracy effect (self.__global_accuracy_damage_bonus, which is checked in the damage projector) is set in attackTargetWith() before resolving any melee_project values, then cleared after checking callbacks and hooks. There is no reason why it wouldn't affect Weapon of Light damage, which uses melee_project.

If it did the damage of WoL would vary when using a staff depending on my attack roll. I never observed it to do so.

It does.
