KM question

1) Does the build up still instantly recharge if the T-9 crits?

2) If the first answer is a yes; Then if you use build up while in hide, then will the T-9 auto crit and recharge the build up?

3) If the second answer is yes; Then, will the building crit chance make the build up perma-able?

Yes.
Yes.
No. The building crit chance is on Assassin's Strike only, not Concentrated Strike (which is the tier 9).

Placate + Concentrated Strike or having the Stalker ATO proc go off + Concentrated Strike will recharge Build Up, meaning that KM can maintain Build Up for a very high uptime and easily stack it (BU->CS from Hide->BU), and it's incredible with a Gaussian's for potential triple-stacking. I didn't pick it up on beta but some reports in the Stalker feedback thread said that the ATO proc was going off in Assassin's Strike often enough to generate a perma-BU attack chain - that's probably a bug.

Not so sure, at least, no so sure with my attack chain if it's a bug. My chain is a 10 second Chain (little longer when refrshing BU), as such, it's more likely to have the proc go off for the chain.

4 times a minute I believe. Then when that proc doesn't go off, CS has it's chance to proc on it's own anyways.

Makes it easier to keep the BU going on.

What is the % chance to crit with CS? then +25%

Thought it was a 20% chance for crit with CS.

You don't count as a teammate, so it's actually 31%.

I'm not certain if the base is 20% or 10% for CS, though - originally it was a flat 20% for both Scrappers and Stalkers with no accounting for Stalkers scaling chance or guaranteed critical from hidden. When it was changed, the value may have been set to the default.

You said 34% on a full team, which is 3% too high for the normal crit rate because the Stalker doesn't get counted - I was just trying to clarify things to prevent spreading incorrect values around, is all.

Now in an attempt to obfuscate them, I'll state that for Concentrated Strike in particular it could be 41% due to a higher base critical chance (20% base + 3% per teammate within 30' radius of the Stalker, not counting yourself). I'm not certain that this is the case and personally suspect that it's 31% instead, but in neither case is it 34%.
