Hi, I noticed that channeling strafe skill while using painsower essence won’t trigger vengeance family bonus.
Essence says: Strafe now fires your primary attack…etc.
Vengeance family bonus says: Your primary attacks have 2% chance to increase all damage you deal by 100% for 1 second.
But strafe must have done something wrong if it doesn’t trigger this effect
Yeah, that family bonus is wonky. Better to use 3 from the Vengeance tree: Critical Hit Damage, Primary Attack Damage and Skill damage.
Add Beneficial Effect Duration and Attack Speed and you’re all set. Far more damage with these than there is with the 2% chance to double damage for 1 second. Might also add that we don’t know the cooldown on the Family bonus. Might be as low as 9 seconds for 6 pieces or as much as 20/40 seconds.
It’s also situational. The effect might (and usually does) not occur at ideal times.
Yes, that new setup came into my mind right after I discovered it but I want to know if they will do something about it before I start roll reforge stones. And btw won’t be better DMG to players stat (for pvp ofc)?
Next thing you can find table here at the end of this old video or in some patchnotes with 6 bonuses

I personally have it 8 times tested it and it triggers around every 12 seconds using pure primary attack but never with strafe firing primary attacks.
Yes. Even though crit gets strifed in PvP, it still plays a hugely important role in every build.
Another thing to keep in mind is many legendary gems also are triggered/affected by critical hits.
