The chance to critical strike increases by 1% per 22.1 critical strike rating points at level 70 and 14 critical strike rating points at level 60. |
| + | The chance to critical strike can be viewed in the character pane under melee stats and is affected by [[agility]], critical strike rating and [[talent]]s. Some classes have talents that increase the amount of bonus damage for critical strikes.

| − | Criticals have a generally low chance of occurring, however, you can increase your crit chance in certain ways: |
||
| − | *[[Attribute]]s |
||
| − | *[[Talents]] (some classes) |
||
| − | *[[Equipment]] |
||
| − | *[[Potions]] (temporary) |
||
| − | *[[Buffs]] (temporary) |
||
| − | |||
| − | Certain classes can also increase the amount of damage their critical strikes do with talents. |
||
| − | |||
| − | For physical attacks using weapons ([[melee]] and [[ranged]]), the chance to crit is based on the [[Attributes#Agility|Agility]] attribute. Physical critical strikes deal 200% normal damage. To see your chance to melee crit, open your character pane and view your melee stats. The tooltip will show your percent chance to crit. |
||
| − | *It is worth mentioning that if an attack is [[block|blocked]] by a player, it can not crit as the [[attack table]] results are exclusive of each other. This does not, however, mean that increasing your [[block]] chance decreases your overall chance to be crit, that will only happen after all your chance to be normally hit has been pushed off the [[attack table]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | For spells, the chance to crit is based on the [[Attributes#Intellect|Intellect]] attribute. Critical damage spells deal 150% normal damage without talents and up to 210% normal damage with talents. Critical heals will heal 150% their normal amount. To see your chance to crit with spells, open your character pane and view your spell stats. |

| − | ==Critical Strike Rating== |
||
| − | The easiest method to increase the chance of a critical strike is to equip gear with the attribute "Improves critical strike rating by 'x'." There is also "Improves spell critical strike rating by 'x'." Note that these are different attributes; the former will increase chance to crit with a physical attack, and the latter will increase chance to crit with a spell. |
||
| − | |||
| − | For some classes, critical strike rating is of less value. For example, an affliction [[Warlock]] using [[DoT]]s will have almost no use of critical hits. |
||
| − | That is because crits only affects [[direct damage]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==The Choice== |
||
| − | When choosing between equipment with higher crit or higher +damage , there are some things to consider: |
||
| − | * It is addictive to have high peak damage now and then. |
||
| − | * In parties and instances, crits makes it harder to control aggro. |
||
| − | * In general, critical strikes can quickly finish the fight for you. |
||
| − | * Some classes have abilities which proc off of crits. |
||
| − | |||
| − | At level 70, your gear choices are diverse in any class. As a caster, you get 1% chance to crit for every 22.1 crit rating. |

Critical strike (often abbreviated as "crit") refers to 100% bonus physical damage that occurs as a result of an attack made with melee or ranged weapons. The chance to critical strike increases by 1% per 22.1 critical strike rating points at level 70 and 14 critical strike rating points at level 60.
The chance to critical strike can be viewed in the character pane under melee stats and is affected by agility, critical strike rating and talents. Some classes have talents that increase the amount of bonus damage for critical strikes. Attacks blocked by characters can not result in a critical strike, but can result in a blocked critical strike against mobs.
