If only one of them can trigger, then how do you figure they could stack? When u strike an opponent, EITHER CS or DS will trigger, not both, and not the two of them stacked, one or the other. Only one of them can trigger on any given attack, BECAUSE they are two seperate things. Only one of them can trigger on any given attack It states that CS and DS have the same mechanics, this meens that arreat summitt recognizes the fact that these are two different things, that do the same thing. 'Critical Strike and Deadly Strike have the same mechanics and only one of them can trigger on any given attack (so a player can't get quadruple damage) ' You think that because it doesnt specifically say ' CS and DS can't stack' that they CAN be added together That was my bro replying, read the responses to ur post in that topic, the second one after yours explains exactly what im saying. Whwn u hit you have XX% chance to cs an XX chance to Ds Its not arreat summitt, but a few ppl posted the same thing, and its basically what i was explaining. Ok, now someone is trying to tell me that CS and DS stack, I've tried to explain so many times, Idk what else it would take, maybe if 20 0ther jsp members who knew what they were talking about can agree with me. # Critical Strike and Deadly Strike have the same mechanics and only one of them can trigger on any given attack (so a player can't get quadruple damage) # There is no point to having more than a 100% chance of DS/CS. Barbarian Weapon Masteries and Amazon Critical Strike). # Different types of Critical Strike do *not* stack (e.g. # Sources of Deadly Strike stack except from a weapon which is not being used to inflict that particular blow. # They will modify your final Physical damage with Vengeance but have *no* effect on the Elemental damage caused by Vengeance. # Skills that convert Physical damage to a different type (Magic, Fire and Cold Arrows, Lightning Bolt, Fists of Fire, Berserk, Concentrate, and Frenzy (when synergized by Berserk)) do so after DS or CS are applied, so converted damage is doubled. # They do not apply to Impale, Dragon Talon, Dragon Tail, Dragon Flight, Sacrifice, or Smite. # They apply to both Melee and Ranged attacks, but not to Spells.

# Deadly Strike (DS)/Critical Strike (CS) are both a chance to double your Physical damage.
