Skill Design

Critical hits are a major component of damage dealt in Diablo 3. They're not just for physical damage any more, and critical hits of all types deal extra damage, as well as creating bonus magical effects. That said, some types seem like better bonuses than others, so certain builds of Wizards would probably benefit more from this skill than other builds.

Development

Mighty Impact was first shown at BlizzCon 2008, with the name Magical Impact, but was unfortunately too high level to try out by the fans. It was renamed Mighty Impact, but unfortunately still impossible to try out in the demo at BlizzCon 2009. The skill is assumed to still be available in Blizzard's internal game build today.
