What’s annoying about lucky hit is how much clearer they could have presented it to us. Instead of being a chance of a chance of something happening they could have just put the true proc rate on our abilities and made things On lucky hit- x happens. Then additional lucky hit chance obtained through gear or skills would just bump up the number we see on skills.
The formula uses the BASE lucky hit value for Bone Spear, which is 50%. In the video, it shows 58% because the game automatically calculated the +8.4% and +8.1% from the ring and gloves respectively to make it show 58%. 0.5 * (1 + 0.084 + 0.081) = 58.25% rounded down to 58%
Funny. I always thought that lucky hit was a value that would happen by itself depending on the percentage in the skill or aspect. And thought that by getting additional lucky hit + would further increase additional chances in activating
Great video, Blizzard seriously needs to revisit lucky hit and make it easier to understand. Plus around 95% of skills are very nearly worthless for lucky hit.
Great explanation. Just a quick note on your units, it is confusing when you mix percent and fraction. To make it clearer add a "%", such as Heal% = 0.5*0.05*1 = 2.5%
This makes so much more sense than what I had in my head. I thought when you saw an item that has say 5% lucky hit chance to restore health, if you had a passive 30% lucky hit chance, then there’d be a 35% chance on every hit to get that effect. And here I am wondering why me, with 6k hp, thinking ~1 in every 3 hits is going to heal me for 1000, why am I ever losing hp at all since I’m hitting stuff 3+ times a second. Anyway that’s for explaining it!
How come hovering over my gear does not show "Lucky Hit" anywhere in the Skill description? I have no idea how to see the base lucky hit. Level 46 Sorc
Found this from TH-cam Suggested and it was helpful. Thanks for helping me understand! Gotta go check my build and make sure I have an action for the Lucky hit haha.
I'm leveling an alt at the moment so I have the best tempers unlocked. Putting "Lucky hit: 40% chance to do [2000-4000] elemental [cold/fire/lightning/shadow] damage" on weapons is insanely powerful. Combine this with "Lucky hit: [15-20]% chance to apply a CC" everywhere else and (for a Rogue at least) 3 different ways to do "Lucky hit: trigger an arrow storm" and you're unstoppable. Lucky hit chance is really valuable, even when quite low. If you use it all over your gear, there's a very high chance of triggering something useful all the time. As you pointed out some skills are better suited than others to proc it. The 3-projectile spread of Puncture for Rogues is pretty effective. Fully buffed Barrage (piercing and ricochet) is amazing. Huge fun.
Dude thank you so much. As a D4 newb I just could not understand it. I never noticed skills had lucky skills listed on them. Way better than all the reddit posts I found. Easy sub for you.
It’s wild how little Lucky Hit Chance on gear seems to matter now. Perhaps for builds where they deal lots of ticks of small damage it’ll still find it’s uses, but I can’t imagine Lucky Hit gear making any noticeable difference in the long run for builds that deal chunks of one shot damage, like HotA Barb or Bone Necro.
@@doobz710yeah exactly, people just see oh the lucky hit chance to proc is low so it's bad. But when you're constantly fighting packs of like 20-30 move at a time it procs very frequently
Great video! Just to make sure I haven't misunderstood something: if you have multiple LH effects, do they all have a chance to proc when LH happens? I'm assuming that is the case since I've seen nothing to the contrary, but I haven't built anything around LH so my personal data set is pretty limited. But if that is the case, you could collect LH effects as well a LH Chance to increase the probability of something happening on a LH.
great video, but the main question i was trying to answer here still wasn't answered, so i'm wondering if you know the answer. i know lucky hit can trigger per monster hit, but do you know if a single cast can trigger multiple lucky hits? or does it just increase the probability that it will get a single lucky hit, but it's capped at one lucky hit per cast?
Great video. I just wanna ask, with the comparison of the before and after with 2 items you used with lucky hit chance modifiers, one 8.4% and 8.1% which ultimately led to a difference of just 0.4% in the final computation, do you think it's worth getting items with lucky hit affixes? Like I'd definitely go for it if it's a difference of 5%. Or am I missing something? Thanks!
I think this video is good but could be explained more simply. The Lucky hit stat just increases the base lucky hit chance of a skill by that %. For example the sorc meteor has 40% base lucky hit chance. With 3 points in their lucky hit passive that grants them 15% luck hit (5% per rank) and a upgraded wand that grants 15% lucky hit as well, that’s 30% lucky hit. 30% of 40 is 12. Now meteor has a 52% lucky hit chance. Now what you’re basically asking is , Is that 2 in 52 that important? In this case It doesn’t matter . Because 5% of 40 is 2. Which means you can take a point out of the lucky hit passive and put it somewhere else
I've only played Necro so I can only comment on that but from what I've seen, it depends on the build. So for this example, Bone Spear Necro, you want to focus on Crit Dmg, Crit Chance, and Max Essence since we are just throwing one spear at a time. There is a Necro build called Infinimist that has multiple attack ticks per second that focuses on maxing out Lucky Hit Chance, but that seems like more of the exception than anything since most builds are focusing on Crit/Vulnerable damage.
They're additive bonuses so let's say you have 8% LH on gloves and 8% LH on a ring. You have 16% Lucky Hit Bonus. You then multiply the proc coefficient of the skill you're using (HoTA is 50%) by your lucky hit bonus so it looks like this: 0.5 * 1.16 = 58% The LH chance to proc a random skill is say 5%. With no lucky hit bonus at all, that's 1 in every 40 uses of the skill on average. With 16% lucky hit bonus, it's slightly less. Bottom line, don't put LH on gear.
@@iampanaxsorc is very similar but we also like lucky hit since it allows us all the fancy shit with our builds and with our utility for infinite Mana builds. Ice Shards is 8 hits per cast 4 of which pierced with wands and aspect, totaling from 50k no status to 100m frozen, vulnerable, stunned at a standard 1.5, and immobilized alone adding 3.75 to multipliers.
This is basic math, the thing I haven;t been able to get is how lhc chance works on DoT effects. Such as firewall for example. Is it per tick or per instance of the skill?
Also, when a legendary aspect says "Imbued: Lucky Hit: ........" Does that mean that everything in orange only happens on the off chance you get a lucky hit? For example: "Imprinted: Lucky Hit: Critical Strikes with Marksman Skills have up to a 54% chance to grant a free Dark Shroud Shadow." Does that mean when I get critical strike I get a dark shroud or when I get a lucky hit I get a critical strike with a dark shroud?
How does it work with new Siphoning Strikes? My Skill LH is 0% (because rogues don't have any skill that gives them LH). So according to this formula the result will always be zero (0*0,75*1 = 0). Does it mean Siphoning Strikes don't work at all?
So if I understand this correctly, the only way to get Lucky Hit Chance is to have a core skill with it. Gear affixes merely provide kickers to the skill's buff?
Butchers cleaver: on lucky hit 100% chance to fear the enemy If I equip rings that boost lucky hit, does this actually help? Since the 100% can't go higher? So do the % of lucky hit chance effect the Lucky hit chance of the attack or the chance of the proc?
It means that IF lucky hit occurs THEN you have a 100% chance to fear the enemy. Meaning, you have to activate the lucky hit first which you do by increasing your lucky hit chance. So, the 100% means nothing and will never be activated unless you have a lucky hit chance of some sort.
some guy on reddit just gaslit me into believing that the luck hit chance was divided for abilties that hit multiple times and i haven’t been this angry in like a year
Question : What do two items with the same heal x HPs on 5% of lucky hit do ? Do they both get to proc or Is it added ? or is the 2nd item canceled/ignored ? Thanks
Every lucky hit effect on your gear has it's own roll. You can proc one but not the other or you could proc both at the same time. They're independent.
Its exactly the same. 3% gets added to your base percent. If you had 20% then now you have 23%. Thus its .23 times more likely to happen. Nothing complicated just all simple math. Khan academy is great and free.
How does the math work if you have 2 items with 5% chance to heal? Are they treated the individually or do they add to 10% or do they multiply to 7.5%?
I think you're wrong with stating that hitting 20 enemies increases the chance that it procs. For example, if you cast a hydra on a sorceress that shoots 40x over its 10 s duration with a lucky hit of 90% - you'll only see ONE (0.9 procs) of lucky hit, despite the spell actually "hitting" enemies 40 times. Thus, I think lucky hit is/can only be activated once per cast.
@@MrKelenek Hmm... Perhaps things like hydra somehow divide/reduce their lucky hit over all the attacks/duration? Maybe its duration-based spells that suck with lucky hit?
@@JJV7243 The hydra might work like shadow clone does for rogue. It doesn't get any of the buffs or skill abilities that you add via gear and skill points. So lucky hit chance for them would be as if you took all your gear off and removed all your skill points. Im not sure if that is intended but that is how it is right now.
You're comparing an AoE ability to a unit's attack. AoE's will roll per target hit. A unit will roll per attack. And yeah, I'm pretty sure Hydra, or any conjuring ability for that matter, shows the resulting lucky hit chance if the conjured unit attacked as fast as it could for its duration, NOT its chance per attack.
Im pretty sure without any aspects or skill passives lucky hit still has a mechanic to heal you like 5% life. I remember seeing it when hovering my mouse over my lucky hit chance stat in the character tab.
And I always thought I’d never use those math classes again 😂😂 Any chance you will make a video with best skills, gear load outs, paragon, etc… per character to run for a max lucky build? That would be huge (and I’m sure time consuming)
Dammit you really need good math skills to play Diablo. I wish I would have focused more on math back when I was in school but I was to busy playing Diablo.
Honestly alot of the lucky stuff feels underwhelming. Unless you are using it on a basic attack with a default higher chance of proccing. Or attacking a million times a second.....I haven't seen anyone go over the barb polearm expertise which goes out of its way to show a multiplier. I wonder if thats any different than being on gear.
gotta love how the devs didnt want to do the math then just show the chance itself and offload the math to the players to figure out the real chance for certain lucky hit effects
Isnt there inherent lucky hit values on each skill as well though. If you hover over them on the hotbar they are all different, and change with the lucky hit added from your gear too. Seems like a key thing to know, how come you didnt mention this? @DiabloCompendium
Bro any chance y could do a In Depth video on *** 5% LUCKY HIT , CHANCE TO RESTORE 14% your resources,,, it looks like never procs for me , I got 24 lucky hit
I have 65% luck hit chance with a bunch of LuckyHit aspect an abilities. I can get my LuckHit chance to 80%. I hope I havnt been wasting my time building a LH build....
nice to have SOMEONE explain this. Every Path of Exile player assumed it meant "roll twice, higher damage number gets applied" If they're gonna have a new mechanic, they need to explain it better lol
I watched the entire video, repeated some sections. I didn't understand a single thing. Moving the decimal fucked with my brain. I don't know why you do that. With a shitton of items that give you increased lucky hit chance, the final chance to apply that lucky hit effect is only around 2.9%. After taking into account the 58% lucky hit chance from the skill and all the other lucky hit chances from the items. What? The level of convolutedness in this thing is mind-blowing. I honestly want to know how anyone finds out how to calculate the lucky hit chance when the game doesn't tell you anywhere. How? Where? P.S. - I'm not saying the video does a bad job at explaining the thing. But in all honesty, this is some otherworldly stuff for me. I literally can't understand how it works after watching it, lmfao
It's just so bad.. I mean you gotta scounge up for Lucky hit chance and still get gimped by the effect's chance, so it might never even happen. And ofc Blizzard insists on using the most absurdly unclear language they can possibly manage to confuse people into looking up explanations.
it depends on the skill's lucky hit chance and the value of the proc. for example - ice shards hits a lot of guys (with the aspect) and has a high lucky hit chance of 16%, and avalanche is insane. so it's great there. if you try to do the same with frozen orb, which has a 4% lucky hit chance... it's pretty terrible.
So 50% of the time it works 8% of the time. Diablo seems to love percents of percents, its very non-intuitive and hard to truely understand the impact of gear interactions. Bad design.
I can absolutely guarantee you that Blizzard will dumb this down and change it over the next few months. I dont mind it but there will be people who will never understand it no matter how you explain it to them. It'll probably end up as just one percentage with no forumula.
Ok, so to all those who said the video is excellent, ez to understand, and has helped them understand lucky hit, pls explain in your own words how lucky hit works based on this vid. Based on anything, for that matter.
It's still making me scratch my head because of the maths, but based on what I can tell.. if I have a skill that has lucky hit chance, and an effect that can happen on lucky hit, with my items raising the chance of lucky hit, all I really need is super fast attack speed and then there's a high chance of getting the lucky hit!
@@spencershapiro1022 Ahh yes the action role playing game Diablo is well known for complicated stats and mathematics. Ohh wait no it is not, 4 just has bad itemization.
Lucky hit is simple. Your skill has 15% lucky hit with 0% lucky hit chance in your tool tip. You get 100% lucky hit chance, your skill now has 30% lucky hit chance. Enjoy!
Came looking fod a guide.....LEFT MORE CONFUSED

Correct. If there is no Lucky Hit Effect, then there would be a 0 in the formula for that. 0 times anything equals 0.

I have 65% luck hit chance with a bunch of LuckyHit aspect an abilities. I can get my LuckHit chance to 80%. I hope I havnt been wasting my time building a LH build....
Holy fuck. Worst stat in the game
so lucky hit stat is useless lol thanks
nice to have SOMEONE explain this. Every Path of Exile player assumed it meant "roll twice, higher damage number gets applied" If they're gonna have a new mechanic, they need to explain it better lol
I watched the entire video, repeated some sections. I didn't understand a single thing. Moving the decimal fucked with my brain. I don't know why you do that. With a shitton of items that give you increased lucky hit chance, the final chance to apply that lucky hit effect is only around 2.9%. After taking into account the 58% lucky hit chance from the skill and all the other lucky hit chances from the items.
What?
The level of convolutedness in this thing is mind-blowing. I honestly want to know how anyone finds out how to calculate the lucky hit chance when the game doesn't tell you anywhere. How? Where?
P.S. - I'm not saying the video does a bad job at explaining the thing. But in all honesty, this is some otherworldly stuff for me. I literally can't understand how it works after watching it, lmfao
Excellente
It's just so bad.. I mean you gotta scounge up for Lucky hit chance and still get gimped by the effect's chance, so it might never even happen.
And ofc Blizzard insists on using the most absurdly unclear language they can possibly manage to confuse people into looking up explanations.
Its pretty much useless ???
it depends on the skill's lucky hit chance and the value of the proc. for example - ice shards hits a lot of guys (with the aspect) and has a high lucky hit chance of 16%, and avalanche is insane. so it's great there. if you try to do the same with frozen orb, which has a 4% lucky hit chance... it's pretty terrible.
bro u are fuckin eistein of diablo formulas thank u so much
So 50% of the time it works 8% of the time. Diablo seems to love percents of percents, its very non-intuitive and hard to truely understand the impact of gear interactions. Bad design.
Lucky hit is just extra effrct.. With extra steps... Making our life complicated eh?
I can absolutely guarantee you that Blizzard will dumb this down and change it over the next few months. I dont mind it but there will be people who will never understand it no matter how you explain it to them. It'll probably end up as just one percentage with no forumula.
Ok, so to all those who said the video is excellent, ez to understand, and has helped them understand lucky hit, pls explain in your own words how lucky hit works based on this vid. Based on anything, for that matter.
And they said math is not useful later in life lol
So this is the math my math teacher said I would have to solve in my life 😂
Math formulas? Aint nobody got time for that.gif
It's still making me scratch my head because of the maths, but based on what I can tell.. if I have a skill that has lucky hit chance, and an effect that can happen on lucky hit, with my items raising the chance of lucky hit, all I really need is super fast attack speed and then there's a high chance of getting the lucky hit!
Diablo does not just make you a gamer but also a mathematician. 😂
Haha. Yeah I regret not paying more attention in math class now
Damn I should have been better at math
I hate math
I hate it even more in this game
I’m so confused 😂
🤯
THIS MADE SENSE TO NOBODY! Ok maybe just not to me! Lol
So in a nutshell, it's basically worthless.
We all want Diablo 4 to be like the Sex Panther cologne from Anchorman, but its really like trying to get ahead on a slot machine
Too much maffs man.
Shouldn’t be playing Diablo then lmao, the game is just a spreadsheet with a pretty face
@@spencershapiro1022 Ahh yes the action role playing game Diablo is well known for complicated stats and mathematics. Ohh wait no it is not, 4 just has bad itemization.
@@spencershapiro1022 Yeah I should be playing your mom instead. She's just some holes and bumps.
Lucky hit is simple.
Your skill has 15% lucky hit with 0% lucky hit chance in your tool tip. You get 100% lucky hit chance, your skill now has 30% lucky hit chance. Enjoy!
Tf? English?
ur wrong cause lucky hit also works for overpowered damage more lucky hit u have to higher the chance u will do OverPowered damage
