if something gives +X% to critical strike chance you add it to base crit
if something gives XX% increased critical strike you multiply base crit by that amount and add it to total crit chance

frostbolt have 5% base crit chance
increased critical strike supports adds 1.9% and makes it 6.9% base crit
then you add increases and reductions
let's say you have 200% increase from passives, 200% increase from weapons, 5*40% from power charges, 88% increase from inc crit support, 100% reduction from controlled destruction
your total crit chance is going to be 6.9% + 6.9% * (2.00 + 2.00 + 2.00 + 0.88 - 1.00) = 47,47%

controlled destruction gives 44% more dmg which is enormous boost and is totally worth sacrificing 6.9% crit chance

basically anything in this game with word 'increased' counts from base amount and anything with word 'more' counts from total amount so the meta is to put as many 'more' as possible because it's getting stronger and stronger with every next one

I have 60% crit with 5 power charges(If I had good daggers I would get even more), with diamond flask around 80%ish, each critical hit will proc the elemental effect: freeze. 4 totems criting nonstop will make the boss barely move, sometimes they freeze mid air. When reaching t10(promenade/collonade) the bosses will get a mini shutter, can barely move. I have pcoc aside my surge on my orb of storms to keep charges on bosses too.

This is a crit build after all, the staff nodes seem lackuster to me ... but in the end the build is made for HC. I went generic totem crit build, so I went for crit and crit multi (it's like a small more multiplier). I just walk around spamming totems, everything is frozen, the only problems are the freaking proximity shields rares.
