Damage does work, but it's effects are so negligable, most people don't notice.

How it works is take the total damage done on your hit add in the total of your polearm damage mods and that equals the total damage done... ie... 500 (hit) + 5 (damage mods) = 505 total damage.

Unless it has been changed recently, all tests have shown otherwise.

Once again, read the post above yours. If it is a skill you can get naturally in the game.

You can get med use if you become a medic.

You can never, at anytime, anywhere, at any point in your game get polearm evasion.

Here endeth the lesson.

Medicine Use is an exception. It won't work, and it will never work. If the Search function didn't suck so horribly, I'd even quote the Dev post saying as such.

There are a few mods you can't get from any profession that still work, just not many. Defense vs bleeding, poison, disease, and fire are all mods that are only attainable through outside means, whether it's through attachments or new chef foods. So there are a few exceptions to the rule for things that don't depend on your class.

The weapon evasion, weapon counterattack, and weapon damage mods just outright don't exist anymore.
