Cast on crit

[Grape Soda]

Does it actually work?
There's been a few games i've picked it up, but i can never visually see it work or grant any debuffs.
I see it has a lot of criteria:
- procs on melee or ranged only
- on a crit only
- cannot be a channeled magic weapon
- magic weapon must be in your first slot
- only on a full moon

I think i'm meeting all of these and swap the magic weapon between the slots to test, but i really can't see it doing anything.

This perk shines with scrolls. It's pretty busted on high fire rate + crit builds. Think casting meteor every time a dagger crits (always)

It won't work with bibles/sustained beams but it should cast most projectile magic weapons

Might be dumb but, did you have the magic weapon in your first inventory slot and not the first equipped weapon slot?

I've noticed that at the very least elemental enchantments on the magic weapon won't apply.

I did this the first time and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. It seemed logical to me that you sacrifice your offhand slot to autocast.

I did the same thing the entire beta. In fact this thread is how I'm learning how it's supposed to work, I just stopped taking it when I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working lmao

I also did the same thing the first time I tried to use it, I was close to the end of a run so I wasn't sure if it was working. Next time I saw it though I read it more closely.

"first... inventory... slot-ooooohhh" -Me becoming less dumb. lol

ok im now double confused
at first i was confused on how people were misreading the trait, but now im doubting myself now

i am suposed to place the weapon i want the trait to trigger damage on the first open slot that i can activate/swap pressing the default key 1 on keyboard, yes?

Yes, it goes in inventory slot one. It also has to be a non-channeled magic weapon; so, not a scepter or bible. Wands, instruments, tomes, and scrolls all work.

That said, depending on the weapon the projectile sprites may overlap if you're continuously firing. Using a Sniper Rifle (+100% crit rate when standing still, low fire rate) with a scroll (usually explosions or other things that look completely different than sniper rifle shots) is probably the most visible.

That was indeed what I misread. Thanks for explaining it properly for me!
I guess it's a quite optimistic ability, because other than companions, i think it's the only ability that works of things in your inventory? Looking forward to more like it in the next update after i complete the last 2-3 achievements!
