Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - How does the crit from Assassin's Mark work? - Forum

If I'm recalling correctly, crit in this game is based on the spell, not each individual enemy. So a spell will crit or it wont, and if it crits it will crit everything that it hits. How then, does the Assassin's Mark curse affect this crit? If there are two enemies standing side-by-side, one cursed with +5 chance to crit and the other without the curse, and a spell hits them both simultaneously, what happens exactly? thanks!

Say for example you have 40% crit chance and your Assassin's Mark gives an additional 10% crit chance. You go to attack 2 monsters, 1 cursed and one not. When you attack, the crit is rolled. For this example say it rolls 45. The cursed monster would be critically hit while the other one wouldn't since it would need to roll 1-40 to crit the uncusrsed monster and 1-50 to crit the cursed one. Hope I explained that clearly!

Loin - maybe you know the answer to this (asked in another thread and never got a good answer) - how does the crit chance cap interact with the curse?

Oh so I understood incorrectly. Whether a move crits or not is on a per-enemy basis, not on the spell globally?	Posted by chockomonkey#0359 on Aug 28, 2014, 3:23:25 PM Quote this Post

That wasn't what he was saying, crit is rolled once per skill use, that same roll is just treated as a few points higher on cursed enemies. You also got a crit confirmation roll on attack skills that gets rolled per enemy, so it can happen that some enemies don't get a crit, but like you originally thought, chance to crit is still rolled once.

Thanks for the clarification--i get it now!	Posted by chockomonkey#0359 on Aug 28, 2014, 4:12:39 PM Quote this Post
