March 22, 20169 yr Hi, I'm a bit confused here, so 20% hit convert to crit means you have +20% chance to scroll crit or if you have 50% chance to hit enemy, it will be 20% x 50% = 10% more crit chance??
March 22, 20169 yr It means every time you roll a hit, there's a 20% chance it gets converted to a crit. When it happens, the combat log shows it by specifying it would have been a hit, but ability XYZ converted it to a crit instead. "Time is not your enemy.

March 22, 20169 yr With no "conversion" 110 accuracy vs. 100 deflection gives you: - 5% chance to miss - 35% chance to graze - 50% chance to hit - 10% chance to crit With "20% of hits converted to crits" this turns into: - 5% chance to miss - 35% chance to graze - 40% chance to hit - 20% chance to crit If you have a total of 20% hit -> crit every time you roll "hit" you have a 20% chance of converting that hit into a crit. These stack fully and additively, if you somehow manage to stack five different sources of 20% hit -> crit all your hits turn into crits. Only one conversion can happen per attack so you can't convert a graze into a hit and then that hit into a crit. You can, however, convert a hit from Tall Grass into a crit and then trigger its "prone on crit" ability. Edited March 22, 20169 yr by kvaak
March 22, 20169 yr Just for the heck of it, it's actually possible to reach a hit -> crit conversion of exactly 100%: 5% from Zealous Focus + Critical Focus (paladin aura) 10% from Dirty Fighting (rogue passive) 10% from Vicious Fighting (rogue talent, modifies Dirty Fighting) 10% from a predatory weapon of your choice (Tall Grass for bossfights anyone?) 10% from Hearth Orlan passive (attacking an enemy targeted by at least one other ally) 15% from a potion of Merciless Gaze 20% from Dire Blessing (priest spell) 20% from Durgan Steel = 100%. Coincidence!? E: Dire Blessing and Merciless Gaze don't stack. WTB +15% hit to crit. Edited March 22, 20169 yr by kvaak
March 22, 20169 yr ^ You sure the potion stacks with the spell? "Time is not your enemy.

March 22, 20169 yr IIRC, Critical Focus also doesn't stack with either Dire Blessing or Merciless Gaze, so it caps out at 85%. If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general.
April 28, 20169 yr Critical focus is a buff from a talent that arguments an ability it should absolutely stack. Anyone confirm? Have gun will travel.
May 5, 20169 yr Dire blessing, critical focus and merciless gaze don't stack - they're considered buffs. You can reach however 100% with bloody slaughter against low endurance enemies (under 5% end).
May 5, 20169 yr Buff from talents have always stacked as far as I remember. If not it is a recent change. But that is how Inspiring radiance works (for example).
May 5, 20169 yr Made a quick check: - just critical focus - focus + gaze - focus + gaze + blessing Critical Focus does stack with both. Merciless Gaze doesn't stack with Dire Blessing. The later suppresses the former.
