 Crushing Blow overlay Chance of Crushing Blow can reduce a target's life by a fraction before the damage of that attack is applied. When successful, this overlay is displayed (although be aware that hits with Bash, Leap Attack and Charge display this same overlay).
- Crushing Blow damage to monsters is divided by 0.5 + (0.5 * players), so effectively monster's current base life (prior to the 50% increase with each additional player) is reduced by a fraction.
- The fraction applied depends on the target and the attack:
- Default values apply to pets and normal, minion, Champion and Unique monsters. No other target or attack penalties of any kind are applied. Critical hit does not double Crushing Blow damage.
- Percentage chance from multiple sources is summed, although when two weapons are equipped only that of the attacking weapon is added (that of the other weapon is ignored). > 100% Chance is redundant.
- Applied by any melee or ranged attack with the exception of Blade Sentinel, Blade Shield and the additional arrows of Multiple Shot (only applied by the original two arrows).
- Damage can be reduced by target Damage Resist or Damage Reduced by %. A ceiling of DR 50% normally applies to player character and mercenary, but this does not apply to Crushing Blow: DR > 99% results in immunity to Crushing Blow.
- Casting Amplify Damage (DR -100%) or Decrepify (DR -50%) will prevent DR > 0% reducing damage (both are still fully effective when cast on a player or mercenary equipping DR > 99%). However, DR < 0% will not increase Crushing Blow damage.
- Sanctuary may normally pierce Damage Resist of undead, but this does not apply to Crushing Blow: Immune to Physical undead will remain immune to Crushing Blow. [1] [2]
- Damage cannot be reduced by Bone Armor, Energy Shield [3] or Damage Reduced.
