tome of striking I - question

Would also like to know if the elemental damage increase ones work with bard songs. (Assuming not but since they are an offshoot of tomes of power who knows!!)
 
I think the issue is more that people assumed some of these tomes would be niche enough to be worth doing perhaps while still on the path to finishing codices instead of very minor bonuses to allow 5 tome players to feel like they're not completely wasting experience they gain.

I have been told that the devs do not want ikisith to obsolete or speed up old world content (which is what tomes you want to do before codices would do). I'm sure it will happen to some degree, but hopefully not that much.
 
I've noticed some people have done this tome of striking already, and was wondering; does it really give you any benefits if your already maxed crit strikes?. I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but i had to ask to make sure.

Well that wouldn't make any sense now would it.

As I approach finishing up my 5th tome of power, I wonder the same thing... If I do this tome, do I effectively have a "11%" crit rating? (I have 12% atm but I know 10% seems to be the cap). Or does completing this tome allow me to drop down to 9% crit in gear and still have 10%?
 
It doesn't have anything to do with any caps or with the Critical Strike item effect at all.
 
All it does is make you crit 1% more often. It would be interesting to know if the 1% is additive or independent though, as in do you roll once for 11% or once for 10 and then again for 1 if you fail.

If it did roll twice(once for 10, once for 1 if the first failed) the two events would be mutually exclusive not independent. So the probability of getting a critical hit would still be 11%.
 
Maybe you're right but it seems to me if you rolled a 100 and a 10 at the same time they would occasionally overlap and thus reduce the total crit rate by some immeasurable amount.
 
I believe I have the answer I was looking for, Dimmi told me today its an "AA style enchancement" so It goes along the aa crit tree, which to me is extremely cool and well worth the 75 aa's.

Wrong. The "roll twice" scenario detailed here would result in a 10.9% critical hit rate.

A higher "old-school" crit chance would reduce the effectiveness of this tome further. A roll with a 35% chance of success followed by a roll with a 1% chance would result in a 35.65% crit rate.

Thanks for the correction Wesell. I failed to account for the conditional nature of the second roll.

Lets put this to rest. Code wise it is literally added to your total crit chance.

So...

Innate Crit Chance + AA crit chance + tome crit chance + Item Crit chance

Then the roll is made.

In theory only Item Crit is really capped. If we were stupid you could have infinite of the others and it'd keep on adding it all together.

Awesome! Thanks for clearing this completely up :)

Hijacking this out of curiosity: do spell crits follow the same math?
 
More or less. For casters it works something like.

Innate Crit + AA Crit + Codex Crit + Overcap Int/Wis Crit + Shared Mind Crit + Focus related Crit.

Then you make the roll...


But if your a wizard with the right AA and the crit chance was successful then you get an ultimate chance, which is a totally unrelated roll.
