Usage 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 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.
• Warrior/Assassins can use Primal Rage to maintain this enchantment almost perpetually, though, without Critical Strikes, it will only provide a modest measure of defense.
