Hello,

I was wondering does the fury you get from the flanking strikes trait apply to the initial attack? Or does it apply after? meaning you wont get the 20% extra crit chance on the initial attack.

Much obliged.

I have not bothered to look it up or anything, but just trying to reason with logic:
You do not just ‘gain’ fury, you effectively use a skill that applies fury and quickness to you. That skill can not be used before the attack, and not exactly at the same time, since that would mean to perform two actions at the same time. Therefore it would be used after the attack is finished and the damage calculation is done.
