Savagery and its buffs - question

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds
1

Hello,
Loving the game, must say it’s hard to figure out skill mechanics though.

About Savagery, do all of its buffs work only when you’re using savagery?
More specifically, for clarity:

Do I benefit from +%lightning&bleeding damage only for savagery?

Do I benefit from Tenacity of the Boar and Might of the Bear for all of my other skills as long as I have 1 Savagery charge active?

Thanks.

I’m wondering this, as well, since I’m currently building a pure Shaman with Savagery + Primal Strike. I THINK Savagery buffs Primal Strike but I’m not 100% sure…

I guess the Bear/Boar buffs work for every other skill but the savagery ones don’t.
Would love an informed reply though :smiley:

Well, I tried simply watch the DMG range on my Player status. Primal Strike DMG range increased every time I hit with Savage, and then steadily decreased as I lost stacks. I’m going to say that means Savage works as a buff.

Skills like Savagery are basically buffs that increases in power as you use it. Each use/attack generates a charge, and each charge modifies the total bonuses you see on the skill.

The buffs work with everything as long as you have charges.

also the 2nd and 3rd buffs will be full effect as long as you have 1 stack of savagery. while the buffs on savagery itself depends on the # of charges.
