Description

Hi, I don't know if this has been posted before because I'm new here, sorry if it has. I've noticed with my poisoner thief that I can infect someone with poison I've put on my weapon by using weapon nick, even if the weapon nick actually misses. So I'll do the weapon nick skill, the nick itself will miss, but it looks as though the skill treats a miss like a hit with the same chances of infecting the target. Not sure if this was meant to work like this. -Q

Most likely is that you were fighting something with damage reduction, and weaponnick does so little damage taht it gets reduced to zero, though technically still hits.
