Previously, the attribute
SPELL_ATTR8_PERIODIC_CAN_CRITwas used to check whether a periodic spell could critically hit or not.However, investigations have shown that there are only 38 spells in 4.3.4 Spell.dbcs with the
SPELL_ATTR8_PERIODIC_CAN_CRITattribute.Spells such as
Sunfire,Insect SwarmandBlack Arrowdo not have theSPELL_ATTR8_PERIODIC_CAN_CRITattribute, but can still critically hit.At https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/V8xQmCYqJdfzrcyb?fight=1&type=damage-done&source=2, you can see that in Cataclysm Classic,
SunfireandInsect Swarmcould critically hit.I was also able to verify this for the
Black Arrowspell using sniffs from Cataclysm Classic.Creatures that are not under the player's control cannot cause critical hits with periodic spells.
