Critical Weakness

Critical Weakness

Debuff

Critical Weakness causes hits against affected targets to have +0.5% to Critical Hit Chance, and can stack up to 20 times. If not otherwise specified, each stack lasts for 4 seconds.

Critical Weakness is a stackable debuff that causes hits against an affected target to gain +0.5% to base Critical Hit chance, up to a maximum of +10% at 20 stacks.

Mechanics

The critical hit chance granted by Critical Weakness applies to base critical hit chance, before any increases/reductions or other multipliers.

The duration of each stack is independent of each other and does not refresh when a new stack is gained. Newer stacks will replace the oldest stacks.
