Andor's Trail

With the way of the monk you get your critical chance via clothing and rings, but these don't give any critical multiplier.
Does the skill 'better criticals' apply to the multiplier of 1.75(max) gained by the skill way of the monk?
Or would better crit be a wasted skillpoint for a monk?

In other words: can a critical monk become a powerful fighter? I'd be tempted to play Bruce Lee…

You need to have the "Way of the Monk" skill

Yes, of course. My question was: lvl 1 'way of the monk' gives you a multiplier of 1.25. Does the skill better criticals have any effect on this multiplier?
The description says +25% for the multiplier given by equipment.
But I don't know any equipment but weapons, that would give you any critical multiplier.
I'd like to go with more than a maximum of 1.75 for a critical monk, but I don't know if that's even possible.

Yes

Oh, good to know.
I need to phrase my questions more carefully:
Which equipment or additional skills can boost the damage multiplier for a monk type of build?
And up to which limit resp by which amount per skill-level?

Only weapons have a damage modifier.

OK, but I was talking about / meant the critical multiplier given by the skill way of the monk, which maxes out at 1.75.
Can a monk style build have more than 1.75 critical multiplier and how does one achieve it?
Since it's a monk, weapons are out of question.

Didn't I already answer your question? The better criticals and more criticals skills are your answer

I wasn't really sure what your 'yes' was referring to
OK, I'll give it a try. Thanks.
