Just in case it hasn't been fixed [Spells should probably not be able to crit]

October 5, 2012 12:39:57 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I'm still seeing this in 0.982.  Especially with the big spells, it does ludicrous amounts of damage when they crit, so spells should probably be prevented from making a critical attack.

I had no idea spells could do this. What are the conditions that trigger a critical? And how would you prevent them?

I don't mind it so much, as long as there's some UI/info about the change of critical and certainly information about increasing/decreasing it.

i think thats the reason some staff has -crit to preclude the base crit chance of every unit

 

but yeah i agree spells shouldnt crit

even though following another thread derek told bow attacks are spells, so removing crit would be a problem for archers

i guess they should rework some stuff, or add some hidden -100 crit chance on spells dunno

So, giving my mage a dagger with increased critical hits will help to critical hit with magic? If that's true, wow.

And the high crit multipliers from weapons can make a single firedart do massive damage.

Wow. It was bad enough that weapons effect initiative even when not used in battle, but critical hits, too, is pretty crazy. Sounds like a post-1.0 release fix.

It's as simple as adding a small bit of xml to damage spells that negates the chance to crit. I think it is intended though, as some spells make all spells crit.
