Critical Hit VS Glancing Blow

[Djestemisevi]

Hello good folks

1. Will Cheap Shot add Critical Damage & armor penetration to a Glancing Blow when used beforehand?

2. Will this work the same way with randomly triggered (% critical chance) Critical Hits when a Glancing Blow is applied?

3. Are there any other benefits to a Critical Hit besides the + Critical Damage & armor penetration?

Thank in advance & have a nice day.

An attack can either be a critical hit, normal hit or glancing hit.. As such, Cheap Shot will bypass the roll and make the hit a critical hit and as such can never be a "glancing critical hit".

Similarly, the Lunge skill states that it cannot be a critical hit - this means that any Critical Hit result would be turned into a normal hit.

To answer 2. - Any effect that forces critical hit, will be the exact same result as a rolled critical hit in effect

The additional benefits outside of +Critical Dmg and Armour Penetration are:
- The attack cannot also glance.
- Some effects and Unique Items interact specifically with Critical Hits
- You can stack critical hit damage stat with affixes

Holy smokes!

Thank you so much Meta

I didn't know Cheap Shot was so powerful

Also, your definition of "hits" is amazing - I had it wrong all this time

Cheers!
