Crushing Blow???

I'm guessing that crushing blow does not work with thrown weapons.

True???

I have Goreriders on a javazon,and every now and then I see the crushing blow animation,so yes,CB does work with thrown weapons.

Wow I feel new!! There's CB animation? Can you describe it to me and explain how it differs from the usual hit recovery animation?

Thanks!

DeadlyStrike/CriticalStrike both have a little spark-like animation when triggered.

CrushingBlow has a tiny explosion animation when triggered.


If someone can think of a better way to explain these please do. And yes, CrushingBlow works with ranged attacks, but it is half as effective as with melee.

Crushing Blow's animation is a tiny red explosion that's centered in the thing you just hit. It's easiest to see if you don't kill the thing with the CB strike. If that description isn't good enough for ya, try putting a Crushing Blow set-up on a char that hits a lot of times (i.e. a Zealot or a Fury druid) and watch the enemies you're hitting. You should notice a slight difference.

Dunno about the throw weapons thing. Sorry.

Peace.

Crushing Blow works with ranged attacks, at half effectiveness. So against normal monsters it will inflict 1/8 of their hit points, against uniques 1/16, and against players 1/20.

The animation looks like a cherry exploding in a microwave. If my uber-description doesnt cut it just go into pindleskins garden and let the deadies charge you a few times. <If Im thinking of the wrong animation, please disregard this post.>
