Do not watch COC build videos on youtube

ya i still have a coc build right now and it runs pretty well for farming, but vs bosses it sucks so much compared to what it did.

still fun though, just harder to make it work and not as much reward in your efforts

Edit: I should have just wiki'd it myself, since it says it can't lower it below 5%, so it just removes any inc crit modifiers on the spell itself, but since the weapon is global crit, it isn't effected, am I interpreting this right? Some mechanics and interactions still confuse me, I apologize.

"Removes any inc crit modifiers" is an oversimplification. The key is understanding what Shagsbeard means by "additive."

Let's try a simple example. Imagine you are wielding two of these:



Each one gives 127% increased critical strike chance to Spells, which stacks additively (127 + 127) for a total of 254% increased critical strike chance to Spells. Controlled Destruction has 100% reduced critical strike chance, which is, like Shagsbeard said, a negative increased, for 154% increased critical strike chance (127 + 127 - 100).

You then apply that to, say, Blade Vortex, with its base 5%, and you get 5% * (1.00 + 1.54) = 12.7% final critical strike chance.
