Clarification for Critical Strike Chance and Critical strike Multiplier

[p.galinos]

Hello there and forgive me for this noob question.

I need to clarify if the critical chance iss applied BOTH on attacks AND spells. Say if i get from the passive tree the "Trickery" node that say "20% increased Critical strike chance" it is applies both for attacks and spells or only to attacks? The same question goes for the CSM. If i get from the passive tree the "True Stike" that say "+12% Critical Strike Multiplier" it is apply BOTH on attacks AND spells or only to attacks?

Thanks for your time.

For the passive tree:
Everything that doesn't counter-indicates* is to be considered working for all types of applicable skills. So as long as a modifier on the skill tree is "generic" enough that it by logic could apply will apply.

For gear:
Gear has local and global mods. Local mods only work on that weapon, and therefore only for attacks that originate from that weapon. Mods that can be local are local unless otherwise specified. So the simple "increased crit chance" on weapons is local and hence will NOT apply to spells, even though it doesn't have a clear-worded counter-indication. There are however crit-with-spells-mods as well as global crit modifiers for certain types of weapons that will apply to spells as well as attacks.

* e.g. stating "Melee" and you're considering spells
