Hecro Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 As soon as the Naramon focus is activated, it's supposed to pull of Shadow Step every time you hit critical strikes with a melee weapon, right? Well, it might not. (The next image I enclose is the proof that this focus is occasionally working). It honestly is underwhelming to depend on how the server wakes up the day in playing in in order to pull off this passive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krc473 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I tested it just now using maiming strike. Shadow step appears to activate 100% of the time. Yellow slash/bleed effects do not count for it - this appears to be what your first image is showing. But, it is hard to tell on still images, so I could be wrong about that.

The point is that the strike, if it's on yellow, it must turn you invisible, no matter the status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Shadow step explicitly states "critical damage with a melee weapon". If the critical strike is not from direct melee damage, there is abosulety no reason for shadow step to trigger.

If a yellow bleed proc triggered Shadow step, then it would be indiscriminate between sources. Shadow step is exclusively melee critical damage. As in, critical damage when you hit the enemy with your melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)leduanjohan Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 There are two different types of yellow numbers with melee weapons, the crits and the stealth hits. Stealth damage doesn't activate shadow step by itself unless the stealth hit is also a crit, and it is really difficult to tell whether a stealth hit is crit or not since it will be yellow regardless. You'll know it's stealth damage when the damage number is yellow and pretty high, like in your first pic. Stealth damage has 8x multiplier.
