Plan claw critical chance and damage upgrades

Clawpierce lists a 10% Claw Critical Hit chance at rank 1 and 20% at rank 2. Rank 3 adds +25% Claw Critical Damage. The third rank improves the damage of a critical hit; its 25% figure is not a critical-hit chance.

The three ranks require Corruption levels 2, 7 and 13. They cost one, one and two skill points, with one time segment for each rank. All three together cost four points and three segments, before any prerequisite skills. No rank requires a manual.

Restless Claws is the prerequisite for Clawpierce. The next skill, Dancing Claws, builds additional claw critical chance through successive attacks, with that bonus resetting after taking damage or landing a critical hit. Check its separate ranks and Corruption requirements when planning the rest of the claw skill path.
