Also people are missing that critical strike has 2 times accuracy check in PoE

Once before you do a strike, there will be a critical strike check, if you pass that and geta critical strike roll, there will be a second accuracy check. If you cant pass second one you just deal 'normal damage'

How is this in any way a downside for crit?
In fact from another perspective its a pure upside. If you would have just plain missed to begin with you instead hit if your other roll was successful. This would only really mean no additional benefit for CoC chars who do almost nothing when they don't crit. Nobody is looking at 90% crit chance as 90% crit chance per attack. In fact isn't the cap on accuracy 95% due to the floor of evasion 5% outside of unwavering stance effects?

Am I having serious reading comprehension problems here :(? The way I read it it implies passing one will guarantee hit but both requires passing to crit. Or is normal damage refer to general damage output (overtime) as in miss?

Poison Arrow is fine. I've invested about 180 exalts into this build now and it's still nowhere close to my Glyph Mark character. You have great bonuses such as high survivability and good solo damage. On the other hand this is compensated by absolute shit party performance with zero damage scaling.

Game should have builds that excel in certain characteristics and that are drastically different from all others. It should also have builds that have a lower skill ceiling than others. If you make every build the same in terms of survivability and damage then the game is absolutely stale and there is no reason to ever try something new.

No.

Your not understanding what Rupenus is saying.

You roll for hit/miss

Then you roll for crit/non crit

If miss = second roll doesn't happen either.

And that fiddling further with such a deeply ingrained system (cast on crit says hi, by the way) is likely to break even more things that aren't already broken from 2.0's cavalier approach to 'balance'.

You don t understand that Crit is supposed to be some kind of super lucky shot of a life time , it was what crit originaly been created for.

In D2 if my memory are correct Critical strike was a skill used by amazon, that give only maximum 2time more damage and chance to crit is capped at each level. Can t remember if crit existed for other classes and how it worked.

In D&D, vampire the masquarade, the dark eye, whatever rpg... Crit always ALWAYS been something you can pull once a party.
(well in D&D you can pull crit every now and then but still you need the D20 to favor you+ there is also critical miss in RPG)


Imagine if POE had critical miss? you one-shot yourself just clicking on the mouse XD

Whatever just saying CRIT in is original and pure form in the RPG world is made to be a super lucky shot.

D3 well it is made for 12 year old on redbull, of course there everything is crit and speedy stuff.
