Critical Strike Proc and Zapp

[Pzn]

The critical rate of zapp is not affected by the boost from the critical strike proc.  It increases the crit rate normally for other epic attacks that I've tested (ball lightning, moonbeam, fireball, etc) but zapp is unaffected by the crit boost.

After digging around in CoD, it's because Zapp (both slow and fast versions) is missing the "MLCrit" and "BossCrit" tags which allow crit rates to be modified by other powers. This means Zapp's crit rate isn't being boosted by either of the +crit rate IOs or the crit rate buffs from the Ninjitsu secondary.

Thank you for looking into it.  That makes sense.  Hopefully it can get fixed in the future.

Zapp is flagged with the correct crit attributes for Stalkers.

I believe this was fixed recently in the same patch that zapp's slow/fast critical damage was fixed.  Either way it seems to regularly crit now after triggering critical strikes.
