Question on chance for crit to do double damage
|
So I'm adding double damage to my build. I have 10 from weapon bench craft, 10 from watchers eye, and another 15% from 3x large cluster jewels. When adding the medium cluster jewels with your crits have 5% to do double damage it doesn't seem to reflect it as additive to double damage. My crit chance is 100%. So I'm wondering how this works. Is it rolling twice? Is it a chance for 4x damage? Is pob just not reflecting it correctly and its additive? Thanks for reading.

(Edit since looking at you POB: It is showing it, 35% chance of double damage, on the calculations tab. If your crit is below 100%, which it is slightly on the POB I'm looking at, this number will be slightly lower, according to the probability, at 100% it will show 35% double damage chance. What is it that you're seeing in POB that makes you think it isn't calculating it? This value can bee seen on the calculations tab, in the table for skill hit damage, row MH Hit damage, col physical)
I think it will be additive on crits. So if you will have 20% chance of double damage on non crits and another 15% on crits. Meaning if you are always critting it should be 35% chance of double damage. I'm not completely certain how POB calculates this, I think it does include it, but not certain. If you link your POB or name of character you are talking about I will take a look (Never mind, found which on it is, taking a look). Double damage does not stack with other double damage, or triple damage. It's either double or overridden by triple. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Double_damage Last edited by Belegur85#5784 on Nov 30, 2025, 4:23:59 AM

" Yeah sorry for the confusion been playing around with the build and my crit is a little off. I believe you meant I have 15% with crits which is additive to the base 20%, for a total of 35%. So if I count the 1x 5% from my timeless jewel, 3x 5% from cluster, 10% from watchers eye, 10 from weapons craft, and 3x 5% on crit I should have a total of 55% if thats the case. (my pob will not reflect that atm.) Currently my pob doesnt have the watchers eye or the weapons craft, so its 4x 5% from timeless and cluster as well as the 3x5% crit which should reflect 35% if thats the case.

No worries, when I looked at your POB I added crit up to 100% to test, the POB will still calculate it if it is lower though, at the adjusted probability. I have updated the wording in the first reply as the way I wrote the numbers was not clear.
The 35% it is showing, will be from 3*5 (Pressure point notable, crit conditional), 3*5 (Force multiplier notable), 1*5 (added from timeless jewel node onto Fury bolts notable. The POB I have, doesn't have one from weapon craft yet, or watchers eye. So yes, if they are 10+10, that should bring the total to 55. Last edited by Belegur85#5784 on Nov 30, 2025, 4:25:11 AM
