Pressure Points and Shockwave Totems

Hello,

If I allocate Pressure Points, will my Shockwave Totems benefit from the modifier "Your Critical Strikes have a 5% chance to deal Double Damage", or is it useless because it would only apply to my own hits ?

I can't find any clear information on this.

According to this thread:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3371111

it should work. However, the wording seems to suggest that it only applies to the character.

So I'm quite confused. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like you already got your answer in the other thread you linked, which was another thread by your asking the exact same question.

The generic answer is "Totems use your combat stats". As long as you are affected by the modifier, the totem will be affected by it.



"Your critical strikes have a 5% chance to deal double damage" works with totems, because they inherit the modifier.

The other question in your other thread, about the boots modifier: since the totem doesn't use its own combat stats, the totem landing crits does not matter. The stats are applied to the player as long as the player hasn't crit, so as long as the player hasn't crit, the totem will use those stats.

Another example this league is Shockwave Totem and Astral Projector:
Astral Projector makes Novas spells cast around a target instead of around you.
This works with Shockwave Totem, because the totem inherits the modifier: it casts the nova around the target instead of itself.
It does not work with Shockwave Totem of Authority, despite the skill saying "you"...because from the totem's perspective, it's casting the nova around "your summoner" instead of around "you" (itself).

That's great, thank you for the clarification!
