1-# Critical strike
2-
3-A **critical strike** is a skill or default attack dealing increased [[damage]] and possibly inflicting [[elemental ailment]]s. Whenever the player or a monster uses a skill, they have a chance to deal a critical strike by default.
4-
5-Critical strikes are rolled on a per-action basis, not per-target. So each time a creature uses a skill, the critical strike roll is made once and only once. If someone rolls a critical strike, critical damage will be dealt to all targets hit by that skill.
1+# Resistance penetration
2+**Resistance penetration** is a property of [[hit]]s that reduces the target's effective [[resistance]] to specific [[damage]] types.
63
74 ## Mechanics
5+When a target is struck by a hit with resistance penetration, that target's effective resistance is reduced for determining the amount of [[damage]] dealt by the hit. Resistance penetration does not modify the target's resistance or maximum resistance [[stat]]s.
86
9-Critical strike chance and critical strike damage multiplier are calculated separately for each spell and weapon attack. All weapons list a base critical strike chance, which only affects attacks using that weapon. Damage-dealing spells also have their own base critical strike chance, which is independent of the weapon used to cast the spell. For instance: the critical strike chance on a wand does not affect the chance to score a critical strike with [[Fireball]], even when the player uses that wand to cast the spell.

13-The chance to deal a critical strike is taken from the weapon used to perform an attack or attack skill. This chance is based on the weapon's base critical strike plus any local critical strike mods on the weapon. In the case of [[spell]]s, each spell has its own critical strike chance, which is listed in the skill gem's description. This value can be increased by various modifiers according to

13+Just like resistance stats, effective resistance can be a negative number. There is no minimum limit on effective resistance imposed by the game mechanics.

17-where BaseCriticalStrikeChance is the base critical strike chance of the skill or weapon, AdditionalCriticalStrikeChance is the sum of all relevant <span class="explicitMod">+#% to Critical Strike Chance</span> and IncreasedCriticalStrikeChance is the sum of all relevant <span class="explicitMod">#% increased Critical Strike Chance</span>.
15+Due to the fact that resistance penetration is a property of hits, it cannot apply to damage over time.
1816
19-For example, if the player is using a weapon with 5% chance to crit, and has <span class="explicitMod">+1% to Critical Strike Chance</span> and <span class="explicitMod">50% increased Critical Strike Chance</span>, he will have a 9% chance to score a critical strike.

21-These types of modifiers can be found on various [[item]]s, [[skill gem]]s, the [[passive skill]] tree or [[power charge]]s.
20+### Efficacy of resistance penetration versus resistances
21+<p>
22+It can be shown that resistance penetration is more effective in terms of damage dealt against targets with higher resistances.

23-### Accuracy
24+The percentage increase to damage type ![](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/png/a560ca97a4463f425319717b6466fa4540ae76e0) as a result of resistance penetration is
2425
25-Accuracy measures the chance for an [[attack]] to hit. Accuracy-dependent attacks make a second accuracy check to confirm the critical strike. If the check fails only a normal hit is dealt. Thus accuracy can play an important role in quantity of critical strikes.

27-### Critical strike multiplier
30+## Sources of resistance penetration
31+Currently, resistance penetration exists only for [[elemental damage]] types.

29-Critical strikes deal more damage than normal, based on critical strike multiplier. All characters have a base critical strike multiplier of 150%. The damage will be multiplied according to
33+'Damage Penetrates x% Fire Resistance' on weapon affects player's skills and spells, not minions (Source: PoB).

31-<pre>
32-CriticalStrikeDamage = Damage * (BaseCriticalStrikeMultiplier + AdditionalCriticalStrikeMultiplier)
33-</pre>
34-Where Damage is the base damage, *BaseCriticalStrikeMultiplier = 150% and AdditionalCriticalStrikeMultiplier* is the sum of all <span class="explicitMod">+#% to Critical Strike Multiplier</span>.
3535
36-This multiplier will be applied to all damage types of a hit. For instance, with <span class="explicitMod">+100% to Critical Strike Multiplier</span>, if the player scores a critical strike with an attack that normally deals 100 physical damage and 10 cold damage, he will instead deal 250 physical damage and 25 cold damage.
37-
38-Critical strike multipliers do not affect the critical strike multiplier on [[ailment]]s, including global critical strike modifiers. Ailments have a base 150% multiplier when applied by a critical strike. The only way to increase the critical strike multiplier on ailments is with the [[Perfect Agony]] keystone.
39-
40-[[Monster]]s have a base critical strike multiplier of Template:Monster query%.[2] It can be increased by various [monster affixes](Monster#MonsterDefault) and monster auras.

42-### Status effects

44-A critical strike that deals elemental damage also inflicts elemental [[ailment]]s: [[ignite]] from fire damage, [[freeze]] from cold damage, and [[shock]] from lightning damage.
