Hey all. I am not posting this on the bug section cause I am not entirely sure it’s a bug. So, I have a FG char with +60% increased crit from the “duelist” FG node. Nothing else for crit. Thus, my melee crit is 8%. Smelter’s Wrath has a node named “Stinging Steel” which increases SW’s base crit by +3% for each second channelled. So, after 2 secs channelling, SW’s base crit becomes 11% ( 5% base + 6% from the node ).
In theory, SW’s crit should be 11x1,6=17,6 %. Thing is, I literally crit every time when fully charged (2 secs ). At first I thought I was lucky. But after some time, I went straight to the dummy to test this. I’ve spent the last 5 minutes using SW fully charged at the dummy. I’ve crit every time. Can someone enlighten me?
Ok. I’ve tested this thoroughly. I’ve nothing on melee crit on purpose. With 1/3 on “Stinging Steel” node, my SW crit should be 7% ( 5% base + 2% from 2 secs charging ). 20 fully charged SW on dummy, 2 crits. 10% of hits were crits. Sounds about right.
With 2 points in “Stinging Steel”, my SW crit should be 9% ( 5% base + 4% from 2 secs charging ). 20 fully charged SW on dummy, 11 crits. Sth is wrong here. That’s 55% crit.
With 3 points in “Stinging Steel”, my SW crit should be 11% ( 5% base + 6% from 2 secs charging ). 50 fully charged SW on dummy, 38 crits. That’s 76% crit.
It could be a bug, it could also just be a statistical anomaly due to the small sample size. Unfortunately, my statistics-fu isn’t strong enough to be able to calculate the chance of getting your observed figures from chance.
That’s the reason I am not posting it as a bug. Tbh though, 38 crits out of a total of 50 hits equals 76% crit. That’s a big enough sample size to realize that sth is going on here.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I had. I had planned to do so, but apparently now I don’t have to.
