Just wondering, does the 35% crit it gives mean it adds 35% or is it adding 35% of your base crit?
This will probably be the deciding thing for me, so just wanted to know b:victory

    I believe it adds 35% crit rate, just like some other skill (forgot which) makes all hits critical for 5 seconds or something (100% crit rate for 5 sec, not bad), just like true form adds 2% crit rate, just like demon axe and hammer mastery adds 2% crit rate.

    Then again, since I am not yet Demon, can't tell you for sure.

    It SHOULD add +35% more critical for 6 secs.
    But then again i cant be sure since skill tooltips in PWI are so trivial... And i haven't managed to get my hands on it...YETb:infuriated

    true form doesent add 2% crit, intensity does. and its +35% crit to your base crit for 6 seconds.

    Sorry, Shapeshifting intensity adds 2% crit rate. However, I still believe Beastial Onslaught adds 35% crit rate. Would Strength of the Titans add 5% of your base crit rate as well, then? It says it adds 5% crit rate for 1 min after casting. I sugest someone that has the skill clear this up.

    correct, if you have 2% or 10% like me, thats +35% for 6 seconds = 45% crit for 6 seconds. also yes, i belive it is 5% more crit rate for 1 minute with strength of the titans. so 10% +5% for 1 minute.

    Although I only tested these on a private server I thought I'd share what I noticed about these skills.
    First, neither of these 2 modify the crit % you got on your character page. (You can however see the effect of beastial onslaught - crit crit crit b:laugh.) Second, these two don't just not stack, but they don't seem to be working together at all. It appears that as long as you have the crit buff of strength of titans, beastial onslaught won't be able to 'overwrite' it, so you just won't get the 35% increase.

    Would love to hear from someone who has experience with these skills on a official server too.
