Critical Shot

Description

Allows you to perform a critical attack with a certain success rate.

Master Level: 20

Type: Passive

Commentary: Critical Shot is a passive, damage-boosting skill which is available to Bowmen in the first job advancement, the Archer. This skill is considered very important for all Bowmen, regardless of the future job chosen.

According to the in-game skill description, this skill deals 200% critical damage at a 40% success rate at Skill Level 20.

Note: It is known that level 20 Critical Shot will actually add a (100% * damage) to the attack, instead of doubling your damage. The in-game description of the skill is erred. Keep in mind that (100% * a random number within your damage range) + (100% * another random number within your damage range) is not the same as (200% * a random number within your damage range). Most importantly, it has the effect of stabilising your damage, reducing the probability of getting damage numbers near the extreme high or low of your range.

Critical Shot works with all arrow-based Bowman attacks with the exception of the Sniper skill Blizzard.
