Talk:Critical Strikes

So, let me get this straight, for a non-assassin primary, i.e. a R/A or W/A or anything else, the probability of landing a critical hit is 0? According to that table, that'd be the situation. Is that indeed true? --Dirigible 19:41, 12 May 2006 (CDT)
 * The description ("The chance for critical hits increases 1% for each attribute point...") leads one to believe that the numbers listed are bonuses over the standard critical hit chance which every class (every weapon attack, to be exact) get to roll against. See the critical hit article for more info. --Ishmaeel 06:17, 22 May 2006 (CDT)

Yeah, it's an increase on top of the base chance to land a critical. No one knows for certain what that base chance is last time I looked around, but I've seen a couple of sites that say it's believed to be somewhere between a 15-20% chance. So, for an Assassin secondary you would get that base chance plus the bonus from dagger mastery (if you invest in it) but nothing from critical strikes. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wormfood (talk &bull; contribs) 09:49, 14 June 2006 (CDT).


 * I thought your chance of landing a critical strike increases with your weapon attribute. --Karlos 10:50, 14 June 2006 (CDT)
