Notes

• While an Assassin's Critical Strikes attribute increases your chance of getting a critical hit greatly, using this skill can still be chancy unless you have a way of ensuring an even distribution of critical hits. Fortunately, Critical Strike, Malicious Strike, and the Warrior skill Wild Blow can provide critical hits on demand.
• Critical Eye and Siphon Strength, which both increase the Assassin's critical hit rate, are also useful, though less predictable.
• This combines particularly well with Way of the Assassin, as both feed each other's requirements.
• Beware Soul Barbs or other such anti-enchantment hexes while under the effects of this enchantment, as each critical hit will count as a reapplication of the enchantment, and will trigger the effects of the hex.
