another calculation is run to determine if the hit will be a crit. it is probably 2 separate calculations one to determine the attackers crit value and 1 to determine the resilience factor of defender.
if the calculation determines the hit is crit then damage is doubled
matt, you are correct.
however since none of us know the exact formula on how the damage is calculated with variables, resistances, hero presence, level, stats, damage penalties, etc and the developers wont tell us, i preferred to post a very simplified version to explain that physical attack comes into account even tho he is attacking with a skill.

ps@matt: i always assumed its 4 seperate calculations, not 2. i would appreciate if you could explain your theory if it wasnt "assumed"
