does anyone understand the mechanic of this skill ?

skill description :
Deal basic magic damage and an additional 30% of Soulforce as Metal Damage.
For 20 seconds, you increase the target's chance to receive critical strikes by 15%.

The skill cannot land a critical hit, but has twice your critical hit chance of dealing 1.5x damage.

This skill won't remove sleep effect caused by Chromatic Seal.


it says Metal Damage, but our metal mastery doesn't amplify the damage.

Also I think this skill kinda bypass def rank by a bit, but not whole def rank, anyone ever did a test for this ? (use bare hands to get constant damage with no min-max range damage)

    I see, good to know, so Mark of Weakness really does bypass def rank then, while our atk rank seems to be still in effect b:pleased

    It also does full damage through bless effect (SoG, barb invoke, etc.).

    Interestingly, it hits for full dmg (accounting for [?] reduction) on the Warsong head

    on second thought, I don't think it bypasses def level completely, from what I tested using a damage calculator i found online, if the target had higher def level than cleric's atk level, then the def level difference was ignored, but if cleric had higher atk level, the damage was calculated normally with atk level still applied. Still haven't figured out how much of the def level is ignored though.
