+AR on weapon doesn't work with kicks?

[kabal]

When I equip my ww-sin with a Fool's mod claw I notice that the AR transfers to WW but not dtalon or dflight, or at least that's what the LCS shows.

Here's a picture:

Notice that the kick AR is much lower than what it should be if the AR from the claw is counted. So my question is does AR from the weapon not apply to kicks, or is this just a display bug?

Just a note, I went looking for this for kab last night and didn't find it in the kicking basics (which of course I went for first), the +AR (one weapons) is not listed under the "works with kicks."

Wow, you're right. I'm completely shocked. I must be getting my FAQ's mixed up (and I couldn't find it in the FAQ or FAQ Update thread either). Anyway, here's the straightforeward answer.

What affects kicks?
Physical kick damage is calculated from Strength, Dexterity, Skill Bonuses (kicks and Pally Auras), Boot Damage, and %ED from equipment, only. This is not including mods such as elemental damage. Weapon physical damage is completely useless, meaning you want to choose weapons for other mods. Here are the other properties that do work with kicks:
Crushing Blow, Open Wounds, Slow Target

Magic, Elemental, and Poison Damage (not displayed on the character screen)

Knockback (Dragon Talon and Tail have their own knockback, only works for Dragon Flight)

Life/Mana steal and Life/Mana after kills

%Chance to Cast on Attack/Strike

+% Damage (except from weapon)

+AR (except on your weapon)

+% AR (from anywhere)

Blind, Freeze, Prevent Monster Heal

MF and Gold find

Weapon Range

Thanks for the clarification. Now we just need to update the FAQ.

Sorry for the delay, changes have been made to the FAQ updation thread.
