Sacrificial Strike question

Bit too lazy to try searching through hundreds of threads for an answer to this.

Was wondering if anyone could tell me whether some seeker skills can not trigger a double damage (zerk/sacrificial strike/whatever you want to call it) effect? I'm talking about the same weapon effect found on the tt90 gold sword for those that still might have my question confused for another weapon effect >_>

Any insight is appreciated :3

    I'm pretty sure you can zerk with any skill... unless one negates all other adds/effects like mystics absorb soul. I don't think there is a limitation b:shocked any end game or near it seeker can correct me... because I'm too lazy to check.

    From what I've seen with my TT90 gold sword zerk effect and skills it works on all skills - for example I have hit over 100k on one vortex swing with it, amp and HF on a boss in Eden; not possible without zerk at my level for sure :D

    Judging from all the hype about how great r9 seekers will be, then most likely yes especially from what others have already said above me.

    TBH I'm not sure I've ever seen any of the magic attacks zerk. I've had the TT90 gold weapon for a while now, and i cannot recall any magic attack zerking. They do crit however b:victory

    Thanks, this is what I was wondering about. I wasn't sure if seeker "magic" skills were true magic skills, and therefore could a zerk damage multiplier be applied to these "magic" skills.

    Would still appreciate any other insight on this.

    Conjecture: Only skills that receive blood paint are capable of zerking.

    true that only seeker skill i haven't seen zerking so far was edged blur, which isn't affected by bp. But it seems like the zerk rate on the metal skills is quite low -.- gemini slash and arme nier seem to zerk 10 times as often as battousai or heartseeker.

    Because they don't, only physical attacks can zerk. I talked to an archer with R9 bow and he says hes never seen lightning strike zerk either.
