Talk:Critical Strike

I disagree about the usage note. A high Critical Strike attribute couple with the dual attack means this skills will always automaticly give you back two times the energy bonus. Coupled with Critical Eye and a zealous weapon, this is basicly a "free" skill, giving you back as much as its cost. --theeth 22:00, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

I didn't mean energy efficiency I meant damage efficiency. True, you are guaranteed all of your energy back, but is it really worth it when you could be doing substantially more damage with your dual attack? Besides, the fact that you will be getting critical strikes on a regular basis (assuming you have a high critical strike rating) means that energy shouldn't be a problem anyways. If it really becomes a problem you can use Critical Eye or other energy boosting skills like you said, but I think using a skill that has a good chance of happening naturally (minus the tiny bonus damage) is overdoing it.

 * The damage bonus listed in the wiki was very outdated. I've updated the progression for 0 to 16.  As for the discussion here, there's two things: whether or not someone thinks this skill is useful or not, the note was plain wrong.  I guess the intended argument was that adding to critical strikes increases an assassin's DPS more through the natural critical hit rate increase than by the damage increase on this skill itself, but that clearly doesn't make the skill itself less effective.  --68.142.14.79 12:59, 12 May 2006 (CDT)
