Ranger Skill Passive

[Pretentieux]

This skill is supposed to give +5% Crit Chance/Crit Damage

On the attributes screen, under the damage tab, my Ranged Critical is still 0%

What's up with this?

[Sacrifall]

From what I saw when I put point in the skill, it raise not only ranged crit and damage but the overall crit and damage, base is 5% and with the skill it goes to 10%.
if it working as intended, it pretty much a must skill to have on any build (Magic/melee/ranged), just pick the +15% on ranged enemy and +30% on aerial enemy to get it, those also work for any build.

12 skill points is a big price tag, though. I've done and loved high crit 2-hander/bow red/green builds that use ranger, but I doubt you could fit it just anywhere.

[Sacrifall]

Oh of course, not all build can take it ya, but if you got point to spend, it worth it I think.
I would skip it on a red-blue build, as they already need way too much point.

Since Ranger uses bow, you only get the benefit when bow is equipped, it's working as intended. Same goes for all other classes that provide damage benefits via a specific weapon, only get them when equipped.

I don't know where you got that info, but in game, no matter what weapon you use, you get that +5% crit, +5% crit damage, +5 stam regen and +2 to end+dex no matter what weapon you use. Just tested with a sword and pickaxes and I still had those stat up (I even put my bow in a chest just to be sure).

that is one of the universal passives. it works for ANY weapon and ANY build. the critbonus and critdmg are applied to the BASE stats since its a passive.

it doesnt say "ranged critical hit chance" anywhere on the skill for example.

that green branch where this passive is has a few passive bonuses that are useful in any build currently. like +30% dmg to air enemies works regardless of weapon used. it only checks if the target hit is a flyer.
