Damage spell crits - works for everything?

[Bayler_x]

I'm curious what kinds of spells our damage-spell-crit achievement applies to.  Does it work on DoTs?  Heretic's?  What about our reverse-damage shields?  Procs? How much extra damage do crits do, anyway?  Anyone know? Thanks! <div></div>

<P>Not sure about some of the lesser used spells, but I know that the damage crit works on our direct damage (the one we have anyway) as well as the Affliction, repentance, and vengence line against CA. Even all of our DoTs are covered under it and have even noticed that Heretic's destiny takes advantage of it as well.</P> <P>So umm yeah, I think it covers any spell that deals damage or has a proc for damage when it fires and all DoTs.</P> <P>And can't really give an accurate percentage or amount, but I have seen crits as low as 50 points to some well over an additional 250 points. Not sure if there is any set pattern they follow.</P><p>Message Edited by Kadurm on <span class=date_text>06-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:32 PM</span>

I think it actually does work on that. Will check tonight and make sure, but pretty sure that either that was giving me crits with it or something else was.<p>Message Edited by Kadurm on <span class=date_text>06-24-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:02 AM</span>

<DIV>I am not 100% sure... but I've asked in the eq.serverwide channel many times.. Nobody ever seen it crits before. it's just a normal spell, if it crits, everyone can see it easily i mean 30% crits chance( 28 %+moa 2% )</DIV>

<P>I have noticed something about spell crits, in the damage window, sometimes I see that such and such critically hits so and so for *x* amount of damage. And sometimes I see the damage not listed as a critical but only in white text rather than normal, and the damage is higher than normal on the white text ones than normal, so it might be that they are not being listed as critical hits but in fact are.</P> <P>Gonna see if I can get some screenshots tonight to show ya what I mean.</P>

<P>I have 4 points in the line andI see a lot of difference so much that i'm considering just going full INT line and a few points left and right to spend the ones left... the staff nuke is the extra power i need to finish up a player before he runs normally the INT pts help all around, faster casting is always useful and so is spell criticals and Divine Recovery has the perfect timer to mean something. I had STR line before wich i really really loved for pve and raid... landing the slash/crush/piercing debuff on a raid mob was priceless combined with our AoE debuff meant that mobs were hitting a lot less, if you had the racial smite on top of that it was just insane.</P> <P>Anyway to sum it up, it works but i don't have data to prove it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>
