Anyone know if you can crit hit from an off-hand attack?

Yes

 

[old.Sko]

Usually like you hit XXX for 60 damage. You critically hit for additional 10 damage.
Once i critted of 1 damage. Had a good laugh.

Not a Problem crit hitting with the left hand...
Best hit i've made had both swords crit hitting and proccing with a wizzy buff and a paladin dmg chant
It was just Uber dmg

i _think_ the crit is based on your DW skill for off hand, which would explain the rather <cough> horrible crits certain people get

 

[swords]

i usually do good off hand crit dmg with my merc.
and yes double proc double crit does tend to hurt

 

[Shike]

yep, u can crit on offhandhits, and no i dont think it has anything with the skill in LA, CD, DW to do, My ns did a 34+32 yesterday with 1 in CD on an offhandhit

 

[the_smurflord]

Yes you can critical hit with the off-hand weapon.

I once managed to land the perforate artery on some poor hibbie caster, the PA criticalled, the left hand hit and criticalled, and both weapons deceided to proc at that moment too. Total damage was aproximately 1300 in the one attack. I really felt sorry for the guy.
It's never happened since.

hehe wait until 1.54 and alchemy is here, then u can do this (as a NS anyway)

spellcraft/alchemize mainwep with some skills and a nice matter DoTprocc

use a oro's for offhand with a heatbased DoTprocc

use lifebane

add some wild-arcana into that and voila! 3 stacking DoT's with a chanse of critting

I'm not 100% sure the proccs can crit with WA, will try and find that out

I would be seriosly worried if I saw 3 dots tick on me and wonder why in hell my purge aint up yet

 

[stu]

I thought only casters got Wild Arcana?

 

[liste]

NS special RA. double damage on DoT poisons

 

[stu]

hm.. I thought Wild Arcana was the RA that gave casters increased chance of critical on a DOT... mebbe not

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Wild Arcana gives +3% damage per tick per level you specify it. I've got it on my shammy

It can also increase the effectiveness of debuffs.

 

[Danya]

Wild Arcania is crit chance...

Wild Arcana Passive N/A 1 3 6 10 14 Augmented Acuity 2 Grants 5% chance per level to critical with duration-based attack spells like dots, debuffs, etc. Please note that "binary" effects like root, stun, and mesmerize are either on or off, and as such are not affected by this ability.

There is no 3% damage boost for dots, only for DDs.

Also yes, you can crit the procs. Any proc can crit, it's just non-robed casters have a base 0% change to critical with magical attacks.

anyone know if NS wild arcana + viper can stack, for a theoretical maximum 4x damage dots?

 

[pudzy]

[Roo Stercogburn]

I'm a muppet.

Sorry got confused between Wild Arcana and Mastery of Magery which I have on SM.
