I remember this chat box the most and it's kind of funny what my first thought about the forum is the chat box. It's just a personal kind of view.


Brackans!!! :D Nice to see you back.

As for Shoutbox, we do not speak of it. Too painful... You have to use Discord now. Click the Community -> Chat tab and it'll take you to the invite page.

Hello there!

The Critical Strike attribute doubles all physical weapon damage when it triggers, right?
But how is the "Target takes additional damage" stat handled by critical strike? Is that also considered weapon damage? Or is it excluded?
And is the TTAD from "Doom" curse handled differently? Because Doom TTAD and normal TTAD also behave differently regarding missles and physical spells.

Concerning Doom and TTAD: It's both a different mechanic. If a target was doomed and you hit it in melee range, the doom effect is actually applied twice. This doesn't work on missiles though.

Thanks for the answer. I also found a formula in the forums which shows how damage is calculated and it says ttad isn't affected by critical strike. So that is also answered.

I do have another question though; On realm i can easily kill Lillith (Toraja) offscreen using Limpet Laser. When I try the same in singleplayer she has an imunity shield. What's up with that?

TTAD from items = not affected by critical strike

TTAD from doom (note it's not called TTAD anymore on skill tooltip exactly for such reasons) = is affected by critical strike

Does this also mean that it would be gg to have both doom and a source of ttad as well when using attacks that hit multiple times like stormblast/ancients hand? Just saw that an had to ask....

Real question I'm here for is, I've been playing with different mercs and wondering if the act 3 mercs can block if given a shield with block chance? and does their block % work the same as a players in terms of dex requirements?
