Question for the DEVS: Mod 9 and glancing blows

[binnsr]

Will the changes to glancing blows via Kensai, WF Great Weapon Aptitude, and the Two Handed Fighting Feats affect things like Smite Evil, Trip, Stun and Sunder?

[Ryss]

Excellent question. I wouldn't hold my breath for an answer though.

I'd also love to hear what the percentages are for glancing blows to proc. I'm thinking that they would be too low in general, maybe acceptable for some class/race/feat combination.

[Uska]

good one but I doubt it,

[honkuimushi]

Yep, I'd also like to know and you can add Sneak Attack to that list.

We do love numbers out here ... anyone from Turbine want to throw us a cookie? We dont bite ... much.

No, the glancing blow changes affect on hit/crit/damage/vorpal/etc weapon enchantments, such as Flaming, Paralyzing, Vorpal, and the like.

Sneak Attack, Smites, and other "active" attack effects do not affect glancing blows.

[Gratch]

If only they made vorpal mauls of weighted 5%... :)

Can you PLEASE give us some feedback on what % exactly "more" "increase" "some" etc chance of applying those effects is?

[Kambuk]

well a lvl 18 assasin using a weighted 5% maul would be vorpal....

Thinking about a str based 18/2 assasin/barb focusing on 2hers

No sneak attacks on glancing blows makes it a bit less attractive but still might be fun =)

Radience II Falcion glancing blows could be nasty....

Thanks for the answer, though that kind of kills my 2 handed Rogue idea.

Does it affect weighted, tendon slice, vertigo, and the like? Technically, these effects fit under both active and on hit effects.

think he meant on crit effects like flaming burst, I doubt the base damage on the glancing blow will crit, you'll just get the extra burst dice on occasion

Thanks for the response, Eladrin. Wasn't quite the answer I was hoping for, but then a 450+ damage smite on a bunch of mobs did sound a bit too good to be true :)

Any chance you can take a pass though teh effect discritions for all teh THF chances and anythign else for that matter and add in the NUMBERS...b One of my biggest pet pevs with DDO vers PnP is I'm used to knowign WHAT my feats do, IE if the feat gave a 10% chance you would know it;s 10% not just a chance.

Just to further clarify, does the weapon enchantments from greensteel also count for a chance to trigger, things like earthgrab, lightning strike, ect?
