Deadly strike, masteries and critical strike

[inanefedaykin]

I'm just wondering how all these skills work together and with deadly strike from weapons.

[kykle]

i think that if one triggers, the other doesnt

say you had 20% of each crit and deadly:

20% chance to do double dmg, if it didnt trigger, then you get another 20% (of the 80% remaining) to do double, so an effective 36% chance for crit

at least that how i remember it

yep both cannot trigger at the same time basically deadly strike is item based and critical is (usually) skill based.

The Critical Strike provided by masteries and the critical strike provided by the amazon skill are rolled seperately and do not stack together. Either one occurs or the other.

And as a side note, you can also trigger CB and/or OW at the same time as *either* critical strike *or* deadly strike. You could, in theory, land a blow that triggers crushing blow, critical strike, and open wounds - but the damage on all of them will be applied independently of the other affects. The set % of life reduced from CB will operate independently from the damage over time from OW will operate independently from the double damage on the original hit from critical strike (or deadly strike, whichever lands).

Orphan answered the question, so I just wanted to toss a cherry on top.

Does deadly strike/critical strike only give you the extra damage from your weapon or is it also affected by any off-weapon ED, auras, etc?

Let's say you are a level 80 zealot using a headstriker battle sword. Damage on the weapon itself is 40-166. Is the deadly strike triggered first so that your weapon damage is now 80-332 and all other damage modifiers are applied on that damage level. Or when all is said and done deadly strike only added 40-166 more damage to the total.

It doubles your final damage.

[samithedood]

it would do 80-332 it affects only physical damage.
