Some Notes on Equipment:
Crushing Blow is ESSENTIAL to making Dragon Talon builds viable. This trait will not transfer from the claw on the right of the screen.
Boots, not claws, determine Dragon Talon Damage. Physical damage from claws have no influence over kick damage.
+ to skills and elemental damage are desirable in claws, however, as these DO transfer to Dragon Talon damage. Other things that transfer to kicks are: Open Wounds, Magic Damage, Enhanced Damage from non-weapon gear, Life and Mana Leech, Chance to Cast xxx on Striking (NOT Attacking)
