Passive skills inherited - Are they party wide?

[purenjoyment]

I have been talking with a friend that also plays the game and he believes that the Brawler skill that adds 5% crit chance is party wide. Meaning everyone having this inherited passive skill would allow for 20% crit to everyone.

Is this true or false?

Nope

It's true but ONLY if everyone else is the same Archetype lineage while it's equipped. Meaning you'd need (initially) a full team of Brawlers to use it; once you Inherit it however you can put it on any other Archetype but the same thing applies; the effect is only magnified when everyone is the same Archetype. So you put it on a Warrior Lineage Archetype, everyone has to be a Warrior at least; put it on a Tycoon everyone has to be a Merchant at least.

The way it works, is that for every other of the same archetype with this passive equipped, the users of that archetype with this passive get a stacking +5% crit chance.

So say you are using Merchant on everyone, since merchant has that one nice almighty phys skill with a 35% base crit chance.

And you put that passive skill from brawler on all 4 of your party members.

Since they're all merchants, and they all have the passive, you now have 55% crit chance with gold attack.

That passive's effect is not party-wide. It only adds crit to the characters that have it inherited.

The effect is boosted if any other members of the party are of the same lineage.

It is not boosted by being inherited by multiple characters.

The protag one is party wide.
