Raider's Armlets +1 / +2

I hear these increase sneak attack dmg, not trick attack dmg. Anyone got anymore info on these besides that? Like does it increase SA dmg by itself, or also stacked with a weapon skill?

Also, how much of an increase, and do these become a perminant macro ws piece if it increase SA dmg with ws?

Im not sure, but wiki says 15% dex added to SA. I would assume this is for ws's too, but needs more info

i assume they work the same way as af+1 hands for 15% TA bonus
might be wrong but one would assume

the wiki says there is a translation error (big surprise) and its SA bonus, which one can assume works the same as the AF+1 hands for TA but perhaps dex instead of agi mod?

stack with WS i assume just the same?

if its your next hit, i would say yes

It would only stack with the part of the ws that was sneak attack. So if you expect some crazy increase in dmg you wont get it. Your dmg will still be similar to a ws + SA hit

It's a sneak attack piece fore sure as well as weaponskill macro piece whether you use sneak attack or not. The +1 version is better than heca mittens +1 and the +2 is even more so. The sneak attack bonus appears to be a 15% dex mod like our af+1 are an agi mod to trick attack. It may be worth your while to use AF +1 on TA weaponskills, but the af3 +2 are the best we have for unstacked as well as SA weaponskills for sure.

Also if you melee in af3 +2 hat, legs, and body you would have 16% haste, and if you add twilight belt and homam feet you've capped haste so I'd use the af3 +2 hands as a tp piece as well in that scenario.

After some good testing I'm almost positive the +2 are 20% bonus to DEX not 15% like the +1's.

They are the best WS hands ever, I love them, and they're easy to obtain.

the Zone boss in Uleg drops the +2 stones, he's easy as fk and his Key item comes from Brown chests, Every THF should work on getting these ASAP.
