Detail Stat Value % Chance of Critical Strike min(5 + [75 * [ (110*slvl) / (slvl+6) ] / 100] , 80) Critical Strike doubles physical attack damage when successful, even when barehanded. Overlay normally displayed when successful may be obscured by others (which gave rise to the myth that poison damage prevents it from being applied). Target overlay when critical damage is applied. Since conversion of physical damage to another damage type occurs after it is applied, it can also double the converted damage of the following: Magic Arrow Fire Arrow Cold Arrow Lightning Bolt Fists of Fire Berserk (both the skill itself and its synergy to Concentrate and Frenzy) CS does not apply to the following: Impale Dragon Talon Dragon Tail Dragon Flight Sacrifice Smite Mutually exclusive with Deadly Strike and weapon Mastery or Claw Mastery critical strike: if one is successful then the others don't apply. Combined % chance of double physical attack damage is as follows: Two sources 100 - (100 - CS)*(100 - DS)/100 100 - (100 - CS)*(100 - MCS)/100 Three sources 100 - (100 - CS)*(100 - DS)*(100 - MCS)/10000 [1] Non-player units like a Barbarian mercenary, Valkyrie and Iron Golem have 5% chance of applying critical damage, doubling all attack damage types. This is calculated independently of other sources, so there is a chance of applying quadruple physical damage. Combined % chance of double physical attack damage only is as follows: Two sources 5 + (0.9*CS) Three sources 100 - 0.95*(100 - CS)*(100 - DS)/100 - 0.05*(100 - (100 - CS)*(100 - DS)/100) % Chance of quadruple physical attack damage is as follows: Two sources 0.05*CS Three sources 0.05*(100 - (100 - CS)*(100 - DS)/100) Source Skill bonus Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +3 Melody missile weapon 39 No Oskill Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +(1-6) Insight polearm/staff 27 Yes +2 Peace body armor 29 No Levels 1-60 Stat Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 % Chance of Critical Strike 16 25 32 38 42 46 49 51 54 56 Stat Level 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 % Chance of Critical Strike 58 59 61 62 63 65 65 66 67 68 Stat Level 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 % Chance of Critical Strike 68 69 70 71 71 71 72 72 73 73 Stat Level 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 % Chance of Critical Strike 74 74 74 74 74 75 75 76 76 76 Stat Level 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 % Chance of Critical Strike 76 77 77 77 77 77 77 77 78 78 Stat Level 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 % Chance of Critical Strike 78 78 78 79 79 79 79 79 79 80 Reference Passive and Magic Skills (Arreat Summit) Question about "Critical Strike" on Insight (Technical Discussion)
