Gameplay Help and Discussion - Viperstrike + perfect agony Mainhand vs offhand crit chance - Forum

How does that work with the crit chance of each weapon? example with the offhand being at 100% chance to crit and the mainhand not assuming the mainhand weapon does not crit but the offhand weapon does 1. Does it not poison at all? 2. Does it still poison but only 1 weapons damage? 3. Full effect if either weapon crit? since from the wiki: " Damaging ailment DPS is calculated per weapon, then combined into one debuff, similar to hit damage. The final hit is considered a critical strike as long as one of the weapons rolled a crit.

I think it's still number 2. My understanding is PA's Non-Critical Strikes cannot inflict Ailments kicks in when damage is calculating, which happens before two "hits" combine.	Posted by MonaHuna#6449 on Jul 30, 2024, 5:46:44 AM Quote this Post
↑ Confirmed by Mark " Each hit is calculated separately before they are combined, and that includes damaging ailments they would inflict. If the main hand calculates a poison and the off hand does not, you;ll inflict a poison based only on the main hand damage. If both hands calculate a poison, combining the two hits will combine their poison DPS, and the combined hit will inflict a single poison with the total poison DPS of both hits.
