Critical Hits!

Hello! - I have one little question i'm pretty sure i should have known.. But i hear about so many people who says Hitting someone while running increases the chance of a Critical Hit / Damage is this true`? - If so is it someting else which makes u crit more / take more damage (Such as Strafing, Walking Backwards, etc)

If you hit someone who is running away from you then it is an automatic critical hit.

However, if they are backing away from you, its not an auto crit, atleast thats how I understand it. Afaik this is the only factor in auto crits, apart from skills that guarantee a crit.

Okey, so say i have a warrior running to me whit Rush, i shouldnt really start kiting forward but be manly and equip and my Shield set whit a brave req7 crystalline and start fightiing him ti'll he uses Frenzy.

So do you mean that Going Backwards doesnt trigger auto crit? Also will this result it beeing better to stand still if say have a Icy Shackles + warrior hitting u? Will he then also AUto crit anyways - Then again will Bull Strike always be a crit hit then?

basically you only get 100% crit from attacking someone who is running away from you, directly from behind, or close enough. Exploited this in AB on idiots for an easy, reliable 210 damage spike on my warrior ages ago. Just don't have your back to them, run sideways or something.

OKey, seen alot of "Pros" running backwards and i was like, wtf thats a sure Bstrikke and u wont kite away from them! Okey So its like if they hit u in the back its an auto-crit .. Lol didnt know that and i've played for nearly 2years and been core warrior x)

New to me too, and good to know.

Always remember that you run much slower backward than forward.

Yes, but then they will most likely use Rush and u can kite:P But rem crit hit whit axe is like 80+`? While Normal is 30+ better to take 2x 30 than 1x 80:P - Altough in the long run they do get doubel adrenalline then so idk^^

This is why you use the mouse to get a better angle of retreat!

Oh u mean whit mouse u walk sideways? Dont really understand that one,:P

i'll bet you didn't know "pros" are usually very good at stopping before the bull's strike hits.

well if your good enough at kitting you wont get hit at all

I do stop myself, but that was for Bstrike not for the crit hit :/ - Anyhow seen monks in Sup and Sts running Sideway or kind of sideways:P
