==== X-blow ====
# Crushing blow (Quest weapon only) or Crippling Blow (Tinkered only) 
These weapons do not change the critical hit rate, but instead change the critical hit amount. Both the x-strike, and x-blow weapons give the same damage over time.  Ordinarily it's recommended to use x-strike weapons, because:
# Failing to land with a x-strike weapon is "less" detrimental than failing with a x-blow that could have activated.
# The Damage over time is more consistent with x-strike weapons
There are three reasons to use X-blow weapons:
# So long as you can reliably hit the target, for targets that have rapid healing, an X-blow weapon can help overwhelm the healing effect of the target. This isn't particularly useful for targets with large health since the DOT is the same, and the benefit of X-blow would be small.
# To ensure a kill of lower health targets. Activation of  X-blow can mean that the target kill will be assigned to the caster, which may not be the case otherwise.
# In PK. X-blow weapons have obvious ramifications.
