Deadly Strike VS Chance of Crushing Blow

[Archon_Wing]

Both DS and CS give a chance to double the physical damage, and for a long time I thought that a bowazon with 65% chances for CS and 35% chances for DS (Highlords amulet) was always making double damage.

When I said they don't work together, I mean two things. First, you can't quadruple the damage by having both of them fire off. Secondly, they don't add to each other directly. They are calculated seperately. I forgot which one was calculated first, but if one fails, then the other one is checked. Having 65% critical strike and 35% deadly strike does not give you 100% chance of doing double damage. It is higher than 65%, of course. That might give you the illusion of it constantly working. :)

before something hurts you, I guess you meant.

Ok, I meant the more you hit the enemy, the higher the chance you get of getting crushing blow or deadly strike. The faster speed means you hit the enemy more.

Well, IMHO, runes are for being used.

Oh yes :D But then I've never seen a Lo or a Ber so I might just let it sit there in a collection. There are other potential sockets with much easier to find runes.
