Lightning Rod is a pseudo pet and it crits from hide but it doesn't break hide. So you can still crit with thunderstrike. Makes Electric Melee on Stalkers very nice.|

Also, there is a PvP bug where placating then AS sometimes gives dual crits, but that's obviously not what you're talking about.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Here is an example of what I am talking about.

You can see the two critical strikes from one attack.
It can happen, I think - there are two ways for a stalker to crit.
Hidden status, which gives something like a 50% chance to crit on AoEs, and the team crit rate, which is 10%+3% per nearby teammate.

Whats happening is the non-hide chance triggering while hidden, or placated (as in not quite hidden, but close enough)
Basically stalkers have the same crit chance scrappers do, with 100% crit chance while hidden and right after placate. If the stars align just right, you can get a double crit from a placate->attack and said attack getting the 10% (or higher depending on teammates) chance for crit, and the 100% (from placate) chance for crit triggering at the same time. Its pretty rare, but when it happens against tough mobs, its fun stuff.
Stalkers don't have the same crit chance.

Criticals Stalkers cause a great deal of additional damage through critical hits. The exact chances of a critical vary greatly with the situation and the power used. Stalker criticals do double damage except in one case which we'll get to in a moment. Most Stalker single-target attacks automatically critical against any target if the Stalker is Hidden. If the Stalker isn't Hidden and he's attacking a PvE enemy, his chance of critting is 10% + 3% per teammate within 30'. In PvP, most un-Hidden Stalker single-target attacks can only crit if the target is Held or Slept, and do so 20% of the time, but a few get criticals 10%-15% of the time regardless of whether the target is mezzed. |

Actually, 5% for Minions, 10% for Lietenant and higher, as per their inherent. (Stalkers are a 10% +3%/extra party member regardless of the opponent rank)
