Guide: Power Charged Crit Duelist

This is wrong. You only roll once for crit but then check each weapon individually, so when come to PCoC, it's always the weapon with higher base crit chance matter(assume no weapon specified crit passive).The only benefit comes from the accuracy reroll for crit confirm, which is tiny when hit chance is more than 80%

I am opening to being wrong about that, but can you verify that for me somehow?

Is it also correct to assume crits on DW Cleave are calculated twice per swing, or does it work like Double Strike where if the first hit crits, the second hit also crits?

Crits are always rolled once per skill use, for all skills.

Excellent, thanks for posting that verification.

Funnily enough, in practice, it does feel like Cleave generates PCoC noticeably faster than heavy strike, leap slam, dual strike, double strike, etc. I am only speaking from my first hand experiences testing out the gems on my character.

In any case, that is good news really, in the sense that perhaps Cleave doesn't need to be relied up as much to generate PCoC. I was considering switching to Dual Strike full time when I can 6L, so that is actually encouraging haha.

Thanks for the information!
