What do certain item attributes in Dungeon Siege 3 mean

dungeon-siege-3

In Dungeon Siege 3 certain items have enhancements and there is no indication about what they actually do.

I'm specifically curious about these qualities:

  • Retribution
  • Bloodletting
  • Doom
  • Warding
  • Vampire
  • Weakening
  • Withering
  • Momentum
  • Stagger

How are these properties affecting my game play? Other traits are self-explanatory (blocking, agility, armor) but the ones mentioned above have totally eluded me.

These effects are described in the help topics (if you hit esc, then choose Help Topics). Basically they just affect combat damage in various ways. Specifically:

  • Retribution: sometimes damages the attacker when you get hit
  • Bloodletting: sometimes causes bleeding when you hit enemies
  • Doom: increases critical strike damage (I think)
  • Warding: I checked this; it provides a chance to stun enemies that hit you.

Sure excited for this game to be out for real though!
