Noob question about Solael witchfire

Does that skill applies to ranged weapons or not?
Side perk for it has a note that it requires melee weapon, what’s with the skill itself?

Yes it applies to Ranged Weapons.

No part of witchfire requires a melee weapon…

Really?

“Consecrated Blade”, addition to S.W.:

[i]
Witchfire consumes your weapon, turning it into a focal point for chaotic powers.

Requires a melee weapon.[/i]

My Pyromancer uses it and he’s a 2H handed rifle build. So yeah, Solael’s Witchfire doesn’t need a melee weapon.

Nice, bcs i use a pyro char too.
BTW, what is better for Fire Strike and Solael Witchfire skills - one 2-handed rifle or two pistols?

The wiki is out of date. Consecrated Blade required a melee weapon 6 months ago when the game was still in early access.
