why does crit feel so underpowered compared to other games?

does anybody else notice this feeling in poe? u can get like 60% chance to crit and 350 multi and u still do no dmg, and it seems like a crit build still needs to scale a ton of dmg alongside crit anyways.

meanwhile if you have played a couple other major game titles (d3, last epoch) u may notice, ur critting what seems to be a lot with much less stats and crit multi is a much more viable option just in general providing those big juicy hits

just kind of wondering what is wrong with poe crit?

I would import your build in PoB and check it there.
Do you actually have 60% chance to crit or did you just pick up 60% increased chance to crit? Crit when scaled is absolutely busted in the game.
Crits are a multiplier for your base damage, if the base damage is low obviously all the crit in the world won't help. Besides, 60% crit chance and 350 crit multi is on the low end, even in LE where those stats are much harder to come by me Druid has 100% crit chance and 400 multi. In POE getting 500-600 crit multi with 100% crit chance isn't even that difficult.
