Critical strike wont work in combinations ?

daan · 07-29-2003, 06:18 AM

I cant seem to get Critical Strike to work with anything

I once tried with a F/M/T .. casting Power Attack ( lasts 2 rounds ) and after that Critical strike, but I didnt land any critical hits the 2nd round of Power Attack.

Also with a ( cheated ) Kensai/Mage, I casted Improved Alacrity, Kai ( lasts 10 seconds ), Critical Strike ... but again no critcal hits. If I casted just Critical strike, in both cases, it would work fine.

Bug ?

I am fully patched ..

Hm. You say you`re fully patched. Weird. Try and makea new character in ToB or SoA use Shadowkeeper to give him XP and try again. If it will not work you defently have a very strange bug.

One more question? Do you use Mac? If so,it might be possible that this is that Mac only bug.

Already tried the ToB-thingy,.. still nothing.
Im not using a Mac either and Baldurdash doesnt even mention it AFAIK [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

What about Critical Strike alone? Does it work that way?

LoL, read the post first and then reply

Nice to see a respons in the ToB-forum so fast though [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And for the record .. its not because enemies wear helmets, I tried on non-helmed enemies too [img]smile.gif[/img]

I forgot sorry.

Weird bug you got there my friend. Did you check BioWare forums if anyone has/had such a bug?

Hmm, I've never tried casting power attack -> critical strike so I can't confirm if that works, but I have used a kensai/thief and cast kai -> critical strike to full effect.

Wierd, this needs looking into some more...

daan · 07-31-2003, 10:12 AM

I'll gladly try anything you can come up with [img]smile.gif[/img]
