Question: multiple strikes (in General)

Hello all ! I have a question, how i can calculate the number of strikes my minion does per round?

It depends on your Dex compared to your targets, and the amount of pth (weapon + or from a ToA) you have.

You can get up to a maximum of two hits from Dexterity alone, with extra attacks coming from pth.

But your pth can be reduced by your opponents Evasion, UC, AoI and/or DB.

Great! Thanks for the answer!

Say, i have 100k dex, +23 to hit from weapon. I do 2 strikes on mages with only 20 dex. When i will recive additional third attack against "easy" target?

I believe around +51, but there is lots of randomness...

It appears that the chance to hit from dexterity is cumulative with the pth from wepaons.

Cth caps somewhere around 50% on the second dex based hit (so with a high enough Dex over your oppoent, you get an automatic single dex based hit and about a 50% chance of a second), but pth adds directly to this.

With about +50 (or so) on your wepaon, you should see two hits constantly when facing small dex opponents.

From there, each +1 pth is a 1% chance of landing another hit.

So somewhere around +150 would get you three hits, etc. :)

My tank has 136k dex after enchantment bonus, +37 PTH on my bow and the unknown PTH bonus from my ToA. Against 20 dex enemies I'm hitting triple strikes.

All the time or occasionally? ;)

Around +150 would be three hits all the time, with any more starting to give you 4.

Against every mage/enchanter on my fightlist who don't have DM or EC. Or axbows...almost every time. I've never seen the same amount of strikes consistently, even when I was getting quad strikes with UC.

Without my haste I'm sitting at about 118k dex total. It goes down to double and less then....

My Morg is a +31 and I'm getting triple strikes there too.


I remember a ToA of about 400k level adding about +40 to PTH, so mine - about 210k level - can't be taking me much above +50 can it?
