The Saviour Reflections do not get Crit Strike Chance from passives
|
Hello,
I've been messing around with The Saviour sword and was attempting to see what affected and didn't affect the Reflections. It seems that any Critical Strike chance on the passive tree DOES NOT affect the reflections' critical strike chance. Strangely enough, getting a physical damage node on the tree does affect their damage... so it's not an "all or nothing" thing with the skill tree. Also, items that have "Attacks have +#% to critical strike chance" DO APPLY to reflections. It's very odd that some crit strike increases affect them while others don't (i.e., passive tree). This is easily tested. Simply look at your Main hand critical strike chance and your Reflections' main hand critical strike chance. Allocate a node that gives Melee Critical Strike chance and you will see that your main hand crit chance increases while the reflections' crit does not change at all. I believe this could be SERIOUSLY harming the damage that comes from The Saviour. Theoretically, it ought to be doing 50% of our damage per reflection; however, if their crit chance is significantly lower than ours, the damage will be abysmal. Thanks.

I'm guessing this will probably never get changed :/

This is the case because the reflections can use both melee and non-melee sword attacks, so the reflection tooltip only takes into account modifiers that would affect all of the attacks it can use. For example if you trigger your reflections using Spectral Throw then they would not benefit from your melee modifiers.
I've checked this and the reflections still gain the increases from your melee critical strike chance when they're using melee skills, so you're not losing out on any damage here. | |

Oh that makes sense. Hadn't even thought of that. Thank you for the update.
