So I was thinking of making a spellblade and wanted to make the stats match it as well as possible.
I am under the impression that spellblade damage scales off of Strength and Willpower, as the Strength boosts the actual weapon attacks and Willpower boosts the spells enhancing the Melee Spell Weapon Attack.
Is that true? Do Melee Spell Weapon Attacks scale with both? Or do they only scale with willpower? Since the wiki notes it like that, but i'm assuming that there is an unwritten assumption that the melee attack is also factored in with its strength scaling.
TLDR: Am I correct in my assumption that strength and willpower will strengthen my Melee Spell Weapon attacks.
My next question is how Catalysts affect melee spell attacks. I read somewhere that it's not that bad if you don't use a catalyst melee weapon for your spellblade since...something something about spell crit and accuracy.
I was thinking of using a 1h and offhand fox jewel, but couldnt find any good catalyst offhand melee weapons on the wiki.
Is 1h + catalyst off hand the same as Catalyst melee weapon? Or is there an inherent benefit to spellblades to use a catalyst melee weapon?
Lastly, is there a 1h catalyst melee weapon?
Thank you for answering these questions
