% of a regular melee attack from your char. A lot of talents use the same lingo about hitting for 120% damage etc.

The question is - % of WHAT damage it is.
In other words - what the basic damage of VS depends on - the weapon damage of char, total of his all weapon damages, DOT of all poisons on target, or some entirely different value?
% of weapon damage. It attacks with both weapons at this increased power, if you are dualwielding.

another one - does shadowstrike damage multiplier replace normal crit multiplier, or does it get added to it?
In other words - if i hit from stealth, will i "only" get the advertised bonus, or also have chance for a crit?

It replaces it. There is also no chance for cross-tier effects.

so, as i understand your response, any +crit multiplier effects do not have effect on shadowstrike multiplier%, right?

What does luck really affect?
Is it worth wearing say +7luck cap instead of some other-stats-raising one?
Or to get potion of serendipity?

10 luck gives you:
4 defence, 4 accuracy, 3% crit (physical, spell and mind), 1.75 to all saves, as well as 2% chance to avoid friendly AoE, and 2% chance to not break stealth.

IMO, it's better than a secondary stat for most chars, but worse than your primary ones.

ok so i'm trying to install some addon and i've got some problems.

1. after i added like 6 addons, the game won't load when i open New Game (the bugfix addon isn't one of them, i know it doesn't work with other addons.)

2. when putting only one addon, i can create new game, but i've tried the Goblin race addon and i can't see the race anywhere, do i need to unlock them? i've tried some classes also, same thing.

am i doing it right? just putting the .teaa in the addon folder, is that all there is to do?


i can't find any answer anywhere.... maybe i suck at searching :P

Thx for the help!

I can't seem to get fullscreen to work (by hitting f11)... do I need to modify the command line of the executable to do this?

Thanks

There is a bug with multiple addons right now, and even once that gets squashed there is no guarantee that multiple addons will combine well. I am not personally familiar with the Goblin race addon, so I cannot comment there.
<DarkGod> lets say it's intended

A quick newbie question here, If I say no to an escort can I go back once the map is cleared or do I have to take it.

Thank you for your help in advance. :)

If you say no to an escort it is gone forever. So in general you should always say yes, since there's no reason to not at least *try*.
