Different Skills have different Glory requirements. Skills lose 2 Glory per second if they haven't gained Glory in the past 15 seconds.

Most modifiers to Critical Hit Chance are percentage based. For example, gaining 100% increased Critical Hit Chance on a base Critical Hit Chance of 7% would result in a final Critical Hit Chance of 14%.
