Leaping Mantis (AA) melee critical hit - does it include Combat Arts?

[bladeswift]

<div>I'm a bit perplexed by the Leaping Mantis (STA line, last level) ability - it says after teleporting the monk, "the next melee attack will critical hit."</div><div> </div><div>The big question: does this apply to Combat Arts melee attacks? or just weapon/fist attacks?</div><div> </div><div>I figure it's important to find out before spending 16 points down the STA line, lol.</div><div> </div><div>Thanks.</div>

I do believe it'll work for any hit, unfortunately, this will automatically end up being a normal auto attack hit, because you will instantly be there, and auto attack is most likely turned on from using this skill. If it doesn't turn on auto attack, then it probably works for any type of hit.Hard to tell for sure, of course. Will have to wait a week or so until the first monk has it to be sure <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
