Deadly Strike

% Deadly Strike gives a chance to double physical attack damage when successful, even when barehanded. Since conversion of physical damage to another damage type occurs after it is applied, it can also double the converted damage of the following: Magic Arrow Fire Arrow Cold Arrow Lightning Bolt Fists of Fire Berserk (both the skill itself and its synergy to Concentrate and Frenzy) Does not apply to the following: Impale Dragon Talon Dragon Tail Dragon Flight Sacrifice Smite Percentages from multiple sources are summed, although when two weapons are equipped only that of the attacking weapon is added (that of the other weapon is ignored). >100% is redundant. Mutually exclusive with Critical Strike and weapon Mastery or Claw Mastery critical strike: if one is successful then the others don't apply. Combined % chance of double physical attack damage is as follows: Two sources 100 - (100-DS)*(100-CS)/100 100 - (100-DS)*(100-MCS)/100 Three sources 100 - (100-CS)*(100-DS)*(100-MCS)/10000 [1] Non-player units like a Barbarian hireling, Valkyrie and Iron Golem have 5% chance of applying critical damage, doubling all attack damage types. This is calculated independently of other sources, so there is a chance of applying quadruple physical damage. Combined % chance of double physical attack damage only is as follows: Two sources 5+(0.9*DS) Three sources 100 - 0.95*(100-CS)*(100-DS)/100 - 0.05*(100 - (100-CS)*(100-DS)/100) % Chance of quadruple physical attack damage is as follows: Two sources 0.05*DS Three sources 0.05*(100 - (100-CS)*(100-DS)/100)
