If you still believe it works, just test this by looking at a spell critical hit rate at the character panel, then taking a normal critical hit node and check if the critical rate of the spell increased. Tested and you're wrong. Critical rate/damage modifiers that do not specify spell or skill do effect spells.

Which projectile type do you guys put with freezing pulse and ice spear totem? I've been using greater with pulse to make it like a shotgun and demolish at close range and I use lesser for totem since some of the spears usually miss with greater projectiles.

I am also planning to run an ice witch crit build but as far as I see your builds only includes three mana nodes. Won't this be an issue later on? Last edited by Torgen#7087 on Jul 29, 2012, 2:28:47 PM	Posted by Torgen#7087 on Jul 29, 2012, 2:26:46 PM Quote this Post
Only lvl 30 so far but with clarity mana is never an issue - I don't even use a mana pot. Not sure how it will be later.	Posted by JohnnyFive#1696 on Jul 29, 2012, 5:53:42 PM Quote this Post

With CI you don't need any health pots so you just stock up on mana potions. I use a crit flask and 4 mana pots and its not so bad. I took the other 12% mana node though.

So the normal crit chance increase works for spells? Confirmed? I'm all about a fire crit and having zero issues farming end game as is, but I'm sitting right on those normal chance to crit nodes that don't specify spell crit and if I took them I swear it would be OP if they work.
