Critical Shot

Critical Shot is a rogue and warrior talent from the Pinning Shot tree in Dragon Age: Origins.
== Information ==
* Finding a chink in the target's defenses, the archer fires an arrow that, if aimed correctly, automatically scores a critical hit and gains +10 armor penetration. The Master Archer talent grants a further +10 armor penetration.
* Range: 60m.
* Conjuration time: 1s.
* 50 additional Threat is supposed to be drawn from the target. As of Patch 1.02, only damage-based Threat is drawn.
== Notes ==
* Activation base is in and values vary with fatigue%.
* Like any auto-critical hit ability, Critical Shot is excellent at shattering frozen/petrified targets. To increase effectiveness, make sure to cast Heroic Offense first. This combo, followed up by an Arrow of Slaying can often allow your archer to instantly slay a pair of enemies at the very beginning of combat.
* Critical Shot should never be used at the target afflicted by the Death Hex, as it turns already critical hits into normal. A fix is available here.
