The reason behind that is that why challenge 1 above when 2 spots above me is available to challenge? =)
win or lose +2 is nb
and because oyu have 100% ds that doesn't mean you will hit double 100%
if it's 66% from edc // then that;s 66/100
then there's 15% from gores.. that's 15/100
then there's some from gface.. i think another 15/100
If ds for edc fails. it will roll the ds from gores.. if that fails it will roll the ds from gface.
It doesn't add up to 100% and give you double dmg per hit. ^_^\\
Im too lzy to fully elaborate. someone who is smart enough and understand what i wrote can do it
I believe this is how ds is calculated. i could be wrong but im 80% sure
Lol, such bullshit.
Deadly Strike and/or Critical StrikeBoth of these terms apply to the percent (%) of chance your attack has to produce double physical damage, that would mean melee and ranged attacks, but never elemental spells or elemental damage.
Example of common confusions:Lightning Fury- The %CS/DS will apply to the javelin throw and hit, it will not apply to the lightning damage the skill causes. Same thing with Charged Strike.
Poison Dagger- The %CS/DS will apply to the dagger's physical damage upon hit, and not the poison damage the skill causes.
Character skills for which %CS/DS do not apply to:Impale, Dragon Talon, Dragon Tail, Dragon Flight, Sacrifice, Smite. However, %CS/DS work with the Assassin's blade traps.
What's more, fully physical-to-magical converting skills (Magic, Fire and Cold Arrows, Lightning Bolt, Fists of Fire, Berserk, Concentrate, and Frenzy (when synergized by Berserk)) have %CS/DS applied to their physical damage before conversion, so double magical damage is applicable.
Regarding "Vengeance" Paladin skill: %CS/DS will apply itself on the final physical damage part of Vengeance, but not the additive elemental damage it holds.
-Stacking Deadly Strike is applicable from all sources except when dual-wielding, in which the %DS on the particular weapon will not apply/stack ontop of the second weapon in use, meaning that, for example- BvCs who use Grief and Beast and Highlords and Gore Rider, will have their total %DS on Beast calculated from the stacking of Highlords and Gore Rider, but not Grief's 20% DS, meaning 15%DS + XX% from Highlords (based on character level) alone. Grief will have 20% runeword-inherent DS + 15% Gore + % XX Highlord, and so on.
-Critical Strike does not stack from different sources (Barbarians' Weapon Masteries coupled with Amazon's Critical Strike will not stack on top of each other, for example).
-%DS/CS, like all "chances" in Diablo 2, caps at 100%, which would mean 100/100 = "All the time".
-D2 mechanics-wise, CS and DS are practically the same, therefore only one of those mods will apply to the triggering phase. Therefore, a player
cannot do quadruple damage (100% Damage + 100% Damage from CS successful trigger + 100% Damage from DS successful trigger = 300% Damage
This does not happen).
