    Default new crit mechanic noob question

    Is the crit chance for fw set when you cast it or does it constantly check whenever it rolls for a crit? I mean if I cast a fw with a fire crit weapon then switch to an ice crit one does the fw's chance for a crit change?

    Currently, the only check for crit is on-cast. This is scheduled to change in the next update to check on each damage, though, so you're probably better off getting used to behaving as if that was the case.

    supposedly, the chance for the firewall to crit will be determined when it is cast, and will not change later.

    whether or not that reflects reality, no idea. but *supposedly* you will be able to gear swap after casting with no negative effect.

    I can confirm with the utmost certainty that in the present set up of the game you may cast a fire wall with an appropriate Fire Lore(increased critical chance) item and if your firewall crits it will continue to do so for its entire duration, regardless of gear changes.

    I can also confirm that this is changing in the next update. At that time it will check on each instance of damage.

    What I do not know is if you need to keep your Fire Lore item equipped the entire time under the new system, or whether it takes your crit chance value at time of casting and keeps it going for every check of the duration.

    Eladrin said that it checks for a crit on every "tick" but the equipment effects (lore, potency, etc) is set based on when you cast it.
