Question regarding animated weapon.

Is the damage from that spell also dependent on your equipped weapon too? Played around in POB and if I equipped different weapons, it gives me more/less DPS for animated weapons. Is this correct? Thought that since this is a spell, the dps on your equipped weapon doesn't affect the spell's damage..

It's a minion
The only one that cares about your weapon stats is "Animate Weapon of Self Reflection" that creates a copy of your mainhand weapon.

so POB is wrong then... thanks

PoB is rarely wrong most likely you'll either be using animate weapon of self reflection, or there will be a checkbox for which weapons you are animating that assumes its your equipped etc.

I mean obviously rarely doesn't mean never but most skills like AW have a crazy number of hard to find boxes to set their specific settings.

There is an option on the Configuration page
Skill Options: Are you animating Lingering Blades [checkbox]
Assuming you're using bladefall to create weapons and animating them.

The DPS will differ if your animating identified weapons on the ground, but this is typically unsustainable gameplay, carrying bulk identified weapons around.
