I'm searching for the answers to a couple of things concerning kick skills.
First, I'm trying to verify the base speed of kicks. I read on these forums and on the AB quite some time back that they have a base fpa of 12. For the life of me, I can't remember who posted the information. Regardless, all the IAS tables and info i've come across indicate the same. However, Zath pointed out to me that the kicks use the same animation as the "barrel kicks" and that is a 13 frame animation. Has this changed with this patch or is it coded so as to be a frame shorter with assassin skills?
The other question i have concerns Deadly Strike. I know the chance for a critical granted by CM doesn't apply to kicks, but am getting real conflicting information with deadly strike. My own testing just leaves me confused also. Is it applied? Does it need to come from an off-weapon source? Does it only apply to the added boot damage and not the base kicks damage? Okay, so that's more than one other question. :P
Any insight you all could give me would be hugely appreciated.
