Critical Weakness
|
So help me out here.
600% crit multy and lvl1 gem with 30% multi. That translates into (600-100)*1.3 = 650 + 100 = 750total multi? Multi bonus applies to all crits to cursed mobs or only those 5% rolls? ign PhysicalActivity

" Yes, you will deal 30% MORE damage on critical hits to cursed normal enemy, and have an additional 5% to deal crit to them (which adds to your own critical strike change, so with 50% critical strike chance it will be 55% total. With Q20lvl20 curse, you deal 80% MORE damage on critical hit. Your crit multiplier doesnt really matter, you just deal MORE damage on critical hit, that's all. On champions and bosses curse effect is weaker. IGN: MortalKombat

why would it be weaker? also yes the damage is multiplied further.
if 100% crit damage boost from passives and then a 50% from curse's more damage: damage * [1.5 *(1 +1)] * 1.5 = whatever |

Crit Multiplier does matter, a lot. Re-read the Crit Weakness description; it multiplies the extra Damage of a Critical Hit, ie. only the damage on top of your normal hit.
With the base Crit Damage Mult of 150%, CW only affects the extra 50%. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Dec 2, 2013, 10:59:00 PM

" All curses have weaker effect on champions and bosses, that's why! On magic mobs, curses have 70% effect On rare mobs, curses have 50% effect On bosses, curses have 30% effect " I believe, you're wrong. Critical weakness makes enemy take more damage from critical hit, and is pretty same to how other curse - projectile weakness - works. Projectile weakness makes enemy to take more damage from projectiles, not damage bonus, given by "increased projectile damage" modifiers, but TOTAL damage. If crit weakness affected only those extra 50%, it would mean that 20/20 crit weakness gives just 40% more damage for a generic crit build. It's too weak, and nobody would use it. IGN: MortalKombat

Projectile Weakness:
"Cursed Enemies take x% more Damage from Projectiles" Critical Weakness: "Cursed enemies take x% more extra damage from Critical Strikes" There is no "extra" in Projectile Weakness' description because it works different from Crit Weakness. Crit Weakness only affects the damage added by a Crit, not your whole hit. Read the third paragraph if you're still not convinced. Crit Weakness sucks on a setup with default Crit Mult, yes, but it scales with your Crit Mult, a lot. Also, an extra 9% Chance to Crit is quite good.

" Well, that's actually reducing the effectiveness of critical weakness, not a much if your crit damage multiplier is high, though, but still.... For 500% critical damage and 80% critical chance, 20/20 critical weakness will give around 80% more damage. IGN: MortalKombat

" Well this sucks ass, effects are pretty shiet ;( |

" I was wrong. Crit weakness is definetely the best DPS curse for anyone going into high crit chance an multyplier. For others, it's useless. IGN: MortalKombat
