Why cant WS crit?

[Drex]

sry i dont know if this is the right tag, but I couldnt find an another one.

Im wondering if you are planning to implement crits on WS?

Maybe you are, if not Ill tell you that crits on WSs make multi-hit WSs usefull, like it is now they are pretty useless.

So for all WSs, more variables will make the battle system calculation more deep and interesting.

Like Multishot, all WS should get all bonus and malus you get from stats, buffs, and debuffs.

Obviusly a future doubble attack is a good thing to put in the WSs algoritm too

WS can crit. Even nukes can crit with even the "Critical!" message popping at text log. ^^

They are just not as common as reg attacks. Keep the eye open and when you see a damage bigger than average check out the text log. ^^

I would like the visual to a little more dramatic for a critical, just so we know what's going on without having to keep our eyes on the chat log.

seriously... in like 250 levels i have done with my char i have not see a single WS crit...

nukes ok, but not WS... not in the log and either in the dmg...

my DS dmg is always the same, with a little range between high and low (cant be a crit), since crit gives you around 30% bonus, same thing goes for other WSs.

cant be only misfortune.

Physical weapon skills crit all the time, there just not denoted as such. Why do you think pug's Victimize is such a potent skill?

lol, what does it mean "crit all the time"?

do you have 100% crit bonus on WSs?.... lol.... thats obviusly nosense....

only victimize get a possible crit dmg bonus if the mob has debuffs, and the differrence between a critted vic and a not critted vic is clear...

the other WSs have no crit bonus...if you think the opposite then i wonder if you have played the game..

Not sure I believe in ws criticals.
Then again the system is so broken that my criticals do the same damage as my normals on nms.
