Who wants a T7 reduced dmg from crits exalt? - no one, yet!

I think I have one. I’ll try to find a picture later

Was this removed with the recent MoF rework?

As far as I’m aware, there has never been a crit multi modifier in the monolith.

@Gilavar

maybe my math is off but I 've always thought that 200% crit multiplier for monsters is equal to x3 multiplier . 100% being x2. So for example if a monster deals 1000 dmg with crit it will turn into 3000 (200% crit multi). Otherwise it doesn’t make sense to me as if 200% is x2 multiplier then 100% is same as non-crit?

Your maths isn’t off, it’s just that crit multi doesn’t work the same as any other multiplier. I have mentioned this to the devs that it could confuse people.

The base crit multi of 200% is an x2 multiplier, this can easily be tested on the dummy.

We already had a couple of threads about this in the past and for some reason people are confused.

I personally never got confused by that but if so many people are there needs to be something not very clear.

A Critical Strike is 200% damage (not extra damage), so it already inherented the “basedamage”… so its “100% extra damage”.

Any additional Crit Strike Multi just adds to that, so if you have 100% additional Crit Multi (from passives and gear) your crits deal 300% damage, which is “200% extra damage”

@darkdeal

It’s been a bit since I played, but I thought for sure there were some MoF mods that increased the amount of damage you took from critical hits. I don’t remember the wording on it. It doesn’t have to be specifically the crit strike multiplier by name, I was just talking about the effect. Was this removed with the recent MoF rework?

There was never any crit multi modifiers, since the very beginning (old MoF system), there are only 2 crit modifiers.

One says: “enemies deal X% increased damage and have Y% increased critical strike chance”
The other one says: “enemies have +X% critical strike chance”

The generic increased damage of the first modifiers does not explicitly increase the damage of crits, but is jsut a generic damage increase.

a) It’s a crit strike multiplier & b)every single other damage modifier in the entire game is a 1+x% modifier so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect people to think that crit multi would work in the same way.

If they just changed it to x2 instead of 200% it would confuse fewer people & have a lower “cognitive overhead”.

Thanks to everyone for replying, especially Heavy and Llama, you’re previous posts and clarification on the crit multi for others was helpful.
Thank you Mike for looking at it, I was hopeful it would be adjusted in the other direction but if thats what is best for the overall game balance so be it. It does seem that the exalted chance to blind would need correcting in a similar way as well.

I can dream of my cool exalts.
