Power Critical Release Notes

[Ghost6989]

Artificers can no longer select a non-functioning Power Critical: Ranged feat as a selected feat at levels 4, 8, 12, 16, or 20.


Can someone explain this? What does it mean by non functioning.

Probably means it didn't actually work.

Power Critical is a wasted feat anyway. +4 to confirm critical isn't really needed by anyone.

I would assume that it means that the feat was not actually doing anything. This is probably a good thing in the end, its a pretty cruddy feat to begin with.

[Brennie]

This feat really needs to be turned into something like +4 to confirm criticals and +2 (or +4?) to critical damage before multipliers.

Seriously, how long has this feat been utter garbage, and how easy would it be to just tweak it into being useful. Someone better at :the numbers" than me could probably find the sweet spot for the damage to make it good-enough-to-be-worthwhile, but not so-darned-good-you-HAVE-to-take-it like powerattack or improved critical. feats starved melees don't need another must-have, but characters with way too many free feats (Fighter/monk/arti's) would use some new options!

Until then, can we get "Power Critical has been removed from all feat lists, as it is currently a complete waste of a feat slot"?

Although doing that would improve the value of the feat, adding (yet) another passive DPS feat is not beneficial to the game currently.

If they wanted to raise the DPS of a poor feat, something like Slicing Blow would be a better starting point.

[Teharahma]

Power Critical now grants Seeker +6, but does not stack with items.
That would allow me to keep wearing Litany :'D
