→Critical Hit Terms: Added section
'''Critical hits''' are special types of hits dealt to [[monster]]s (and other players in [[PVP]]). Critical hits can happen from any type of damage (weapon or spell), they deal bonus damage, and may trigger other special effects as well. Monsters that die from critical hits usually explode in an especially gruesome [[death animation]], adding visual fun to the killing bonuses.
==Critical Hit Terms==
There are a few crit hit related gameplay terms that are used as variables on [[item]]s, [[skill]]s and other gameplay effects. It's important to know the difference between them:
* '''Critical Hit''' / '''Crit''' - The actual event when a critical hit lands. Increased damage and an added effect, depending on the school of damage used.
* '''Critical Hit Chance''' / '''Crit Chance''' - Chance of landing a critical strike.
* '''Critical Hit Damage''' / '''Crit Damage''' - The actual damage dealt when a Critical Hit has landed.
