I see! Thank you for clarifying this, I think I understand now.

Hi! Just wanted to check if I understand affliction correctly, Over-pen affects how much damage a spell or weapon attack does but does critical hit or over-pen affect the duration of a affliction ? Exampel, I crit with Mental binding or I over-pen with mental binding, it stats that they are paralyzed for 7 seconds. 1. Does crit or Over-pen affect the duration of said affliction in any way? 2. If the spell has no damage on it can it Crit/over-pen? 3. If it has a damage component, e.g., Cripling strike, does over-pen or crit affect the duration then?
