Critical Weakness
|
Thanks. Really prompt reply too, lol. In fact I had something else to add that I would have just edited in if you hadn't already answered the original post.
" Not always. The most extreme example is if a character had 91% critical chance, and 150% critical multiplier, compared to a character who had 5% critical chance and 1100% critical multiplier. While the curse always helps someone, whether they have a low or high critical chance or multiplier or both, it does not always help them by the same amount. In the example, almost tripling the chance of a critical trumps out the fact that it's increasing the critical multiplier by a huge amount. The gains from the multiplier is a certain percent, but the gains from the critical chance increase is a much larger amount. I concluded this based off math — it's just the way the cookie crumbles when an absolute additive mod is used instead of a multiplier. Taekvideo's spreadsheet even shows this phenomenon Fresh cakes for all occasions.

"I'm aware that multiplier and chance affect it differently, I meant changing one independant of the other. I was referring to this part: "Where it appeared to me you were claiming that regardless of multiplier, increasing critical chance was reducing the benefit. That confused me. | |

Would it be overpowered if this allow players to gain power charges in some way with this curse?
It seems to me the only skill baised towards something like that at the moment. Based on the information in this thread, it makes this combined with the increased critical strike multiplier support on a skill crazy good. Not too many support gems have synergy with curses as of yet so this is very welcome. -Meteoric Destiny! Last edited by MDragoon on Feb 21, 2012, 5:35:33 AM

It seems to me that the visual effect is a lot bigger than the actual radius of targets hit. For one, I believe it hits targets in a circle and it shows a square (which is a little confusing).
Also the general radius of targets hit is not really big. If a group of not-packed, but not-spread mobs come towards me, and I cast it in the middle, I will only affect 3 or 4, compared to the ~8 the visual seems to cover. This makes it feel underwhelming, even though it isn't. ign:mptyspace

As a new player I found it not clear in the description if it affects the spells or not. Generally in these kind of games physical and magical crit are seperated so it creates doubts while picking it

" Really? I'm a RPG veteran myself, and found it very clear that it increases critical strike chance across the board. If physical and magical criticals were separate, then it would state which it applies to. | |
"He said he was new, and that it was confusing to a new player. Understanding it because you are a veteran doesn't somehow make it clearer for newbies. I will never understand why people come out of the woodwork to thumb down good suggestions. What's the harm in making it clearer to understand? PoE is Diablo 3
