V1.09

Critical Strike:
- Made changes to the damage modifiers in relation to the opponents defense, balance changes.
- Per request added Critical Strike to show with the other red modifier actions.

gl on those calculations boys.

Damage modifier has nothing to do with actual crit chance ?

As for 2nd part only other red that will show is power shot and mind numb ?

Note question marks

armor pierce probably is too

Yeah true

Whats % chance of those others base % i wonder?

Feel like this could still be calculated based on statistics and a large enough sample size

My guess is armor pierce has a base of 0 and the others may as well. If I were to guess you would start with only a % crit and if you have no mind numb, powershot or AP, you would consider that the base chance to crit. At least thats how I would do it because otherwise you have too many unknown variables.

Actually... I don’t believe it has to do with the char stat ratios matching the weapon ratios as suggested... but I believe that axes are a special case where str and dex share the diminishing return for the stat-based crit factor.



This is strange for me to say but... I think you’re onto something with this crazy statement lol... I have also noticed with longswords that adding dex adds an inordinate amount of crit chance compared to str... I haven’t had time to calculate the diminishing returns on this or even find out if it’s limited to just longswords or if it works this way for swords/polearms/staves too as one would expect...

It would be interesting to test some strength-based chars with daggers and see what the crit chance is like compared to reversed ratio with higher dex... Anyone wanna give it a whirl?

You crazy critters are smart cuh

Pity the Arena wasn't up and running (well haven't even bothered looking), you could have run low tier items against other person, even if you hit a 0, it would still indicate a Crit Strike by appearing Red.

Not sure, but, maybe this can be tested on Sneaky since it has very high defense.

very interesting topic ty everyone for your input

I noticed that sometimes the numbers are red and sometimes white and sometimes the red numbers are lower than the white numbers. Then I started asking myself. What if crits are actually white and the red numbers we see sometimes are non crits. What happens is that when you crit you do about half damage most of the time. It seems like this is worth testing boyz. Lmk what ya think.
