Weapon branding... for realz?

    So I enchanted an interdimensional axe with a Krong altar, and now in the description there is a line of yellow text just under the stats that reads "It freezes the flesh of your enemies". Understand that the buffs on the weapon do not indicate extra freezy damage, and when I attack things, the damage breakdown message does not mention freezing damage. Is this something that is buggy, not implemented, or simply exists for color? Just wondering...

    It's there because it can be.
    This is DoD. It's epic and hilarious. Deal with it ;)

    It is an effect that can trigger on hit.

    Like you can get an acid one where your weapon has a chance of inflicting the Acid Burn debuff on enemies.

    Now it's much more frequent (or at least written). I enchanted 3 weapons and two of them got buffs :D

    Yeah :D I got a sleep enchantment and a Electric damage.

    before 1.05 i had a Fireball enchantemn (pretty damn good). The only one i hate it's the taurmite(?) dot, so many times i almost died with that :v

    Yep really.

    Also if you get one on your crossbow it only triggers in melee currently, however if you are playing a melee build this is quite useful.

    What? Thaumites are the best. They are brutal.

    @Vykk Drago & @Daiug

    You're both just stating how lethal they are.

    Except I like them for their lethality. :D

    I love how they just stick around, killing anything that steps on them. Heh.

    Is there a blingafying brand? Because I would totally worship that s**t. On hands and knees.

    The only time I've not liked the weapon effects in if I've been in the shop and an enemy walks in and an area of effect one triggers meaning a swift death/lots of dread collectors.

    The best 2 IMO are Blinding Flash and Force Blast. AOE stun/knockback on hit is always awesome.

    I just thought of something... does having high wand affinity make the brand activate more? Does anyone have a way to test it? :)

    There actually is! Though how rare procs are these days you'll have to be really lucky to get it.

    No, it has nothing to do with wand affinity.
