question about using Devastate support gem on sunder.

[PantLessKing]

does the sunder that causes the heavy stun break the enemy's and instantly consume the broken armor? and make the attack crit as well?

[thawn4444]

it does consume the armor break, but the attack damage has already happened at that point and therefore does not cause a crit. this might be a unintended interaction though and get changed later.


the crit only works if the mob is already armor broke at the start of the attack. because the order of operation is

roll for hit
roll for crit <--checks for armor break to consume for auto crit.
calculate flat damage
convert damage
boost damage
apply any on hit effects <--breaks armor, then auto consumes it (probably not the intention)
apply damage
