Crushing blow: past half health in hell?

Crushing blow: past half health in hell?

i know that in hell crushing blow does not activate if the monster's health is below 1/2. but will it take the monster's health below 1/2 if it activates above? example:

monster has 100 hp. you have 100% crushing blow and a 24 damage weapon.

in one hit, the monster loses 25 hp from crushing blow activation, and an additional 24 from your weapon damage. this leaves 51 hp, which is more than half health.

if crushing blow activates again, will it remove 12 hp (1/4 of 51), or only 1 hp (the remainder before half health is reached)?


so i guess the question is, does crushing blow's effect only work above half health, or crushing blow's activation?

You're mixing Static Field and Crushing Blow up. Static field stops at 50%, even if it's only 1 hp away from that. Crushing Blow always adds to the dmg.

Doesnt cb only effect once per monster?

CB has a chance to trigger for every hit on every monster that it makes contact with, regardless of how many times that monster is hit. It can trigger regardless of how low the monster HP is.

hm, one thing i just thought about was whether or not the -25% to a normal monster's health scales down each time their health scales down. for argument's sake, a 0 damage weapon with 100% CB: 100 monster health after 1 CB applies is 75, next CB which applies would be 25% of 75, or would it be 25% of the original health value? the former: 56.25 life remaining, the latter: 50 life remaining.

 

[RTB]

CB works on the current amount of life. 56.25 life remaining for your example.

still, one of the most important mods for a melee. i guess i knew the answer to that deep down. it's ultra effective up until they reach about 25% life, then the other damage sources come into effect. so a 100% CB'er would be ownage, but you'd still need enough phys/ele damage to get the last few chunks of health off. which wouldn't be too hard, especially if you have all that fine equipment available.

im pretty sure that when used with berserk, crushing blow is still affected by physical resistance and not magic resistance. is this correct, or does crushing blow work with magic resistance when berserk is used?

CB is an effect you trigger, it will always be physical damage. If you trigger it with Vengeance or Berserk doesn't make a difference with triggering it with a phys dmg attack.
