Critical burn

[Blood]

How do you get this achievement? I had both green crit rings and I was still below 25% chance to crit. It seems impossible.

Archer's mark is very helpful(+10% percent base chance and one of the weapon traits increases crit rate as well) as well as the mask of madness (has a chance of increasing crit rate every time it eats some of your health) and the uncommon variant that increases crit chance guaranteed.
The mask also continues after the lord is defeated meaning if you're close you can just wait it out, though I mean like within a percentage, neither form of the mask gives that much but it can put you over the edge.

[Blood]

Ah yeah, I'll try Archer's Mark. I didn't mention Mask of Madness because it has no where near the crit chance of the rings.

[tykandre]

If you do that and also get both green wooden rings you should get it easily.
Don't forget to double three of the crit increases, I had awful luck getting the uncommon versions of the wooden ring to drop, so every little bit helps.
In the worst case scenario you can wait til you've gotten some torment shards and boost the stat that way, it just seems like a very slow solution.

[Blood]

Yeah very slow and I don't want to use torment shards in Exterminator because I don't really like him.

[tykandre]

You can get every shard back for free after you do that.

[Blood]

Ah I didn't see that.

[Sith Lord Seyz]

doing vault in less than 15mins gives a new base crit chance blessing, too.

Steam achievement is also bugged anyways, At least it is for me cause I just got the in-game quest completion but no achievement.

[Blood]

Oh I thought the requirement was lowered. I got the achievement in game and on Steam shortly after I posted this.

If you're missing a Steam Achievement, but did the quest, restarting the game should do it.
This can be cheesed with the Mask if you have patience, since you can just AFK after killing the lord. The Mask will keep procing every minute and eventually give you the extra crit, though it's not very viable unless you're just missing a a few percenteges at the end.

If you have enough healing to overcome its self-damage, you can just leave the game on overnight after the Lord goes down and wake up to your new achievement.

Thundercharge Gauntlets and Electrostatic Treads pair well together. Turn off autoattack and in about four minutes on agony I was done.

It's one of the things that unfortunately the game doesn't tell you what it does or where it is. Each character has an achievement that says Reach agony 3 on a specific level and you unlock their mark. In the equipment page to the right of the headpiece slot there is a little square with an X in it. Most people think it just removes all your equipment if you click on it. But if you've unlocked any marks that's where you can equip one. Each mark gives you a bonus like the Huntress's that lets you use her dog, the Landskneckt lets you fire off grenades like them, the swordsman gives you bonus base defense and damage, or the archer gives you a bonus to base crit chance. Each mark also lets you pick that character's specific upgrades for weapon, stance, or proficiency. They get added to your pool of available upgrades. This lets you make some really strong builds when you combine them with the memory and reverberating potions.
