There is no discussion of what "Global Crit Strike Chance" is, on this page. I saw a question about it today in global chat, and the offered explanations were shoddy. I don't claim to know authoritatively what it means, but this would be a good place to write it out!--[[User:Syrasha|Syrasha]] ([[User talk:Syrasha|talk]]) 15:44, 16 June 2013 (UTC) | There is no discussion of what "Global Crit Strike Chance" is, on this page.

Effect on DPS formula formatting and layout
net DPS = base DPS + base DPS * base Critical Strike Chance * (1 + increased Critical Strike Chance) * (0.5 + 1.5 * increased Critical Strike Multiplier)
The formula isn't easy to understand and is really long. (it scrolls off the page)
net DPS = base DPS
+ base DPS
* base Critical Strike Chance
* (1 + increased Critical Strike Chance)
* (0.5 + 1.5 * increased Critical Strike Multiplier)
Line 3 and 4 just calculate the overall crit chance so we can move those.
Critical Strike Chance = Base Critical Strike Chance * (1 + Lua error in Module:Mod at line 102: bad argument #2 to 'format' (string expected, got nil).) Net DPS = Base DPS + (Base DPS * Critical Strike Chance * (0.5 + 1.5 * Lua error in Module:Mod at line 102: bad argument #2 to 'format' (string expected, got nil).) )
It would probably make it easier to understand if the crit multiplier was calculated outside as well. People can then easily copy it from their character screen and skip a step if hand calculating it. And some colours.
Critical Strike Chance = Base Critical Strike Chance * (1 + Lua error in Module:Mod at line 102: bad argument #2 to 'format' (string expected, got nil).) Critical Strike Multiplier = 150% * (1 + Lua error in Module:Mod at line 102: bad argument #2 to 'format' (string expected, got nil).) Net DPS = Base DPS + (Base DPS * Critical Strike Chance * (Critical Strike Multiplier - 100%) )
And an example might be good to help people see how to use the formula.
Example
Fireball:
- 100 Base DPS
- 6% Base Crit Chance
- 150% Base Crit Multiplier
- 50% Increased Crit Chance
- 50% Increased Crit Multiplier
Using the above formula:
Critical Strike Chance = 6% * (1 + Lua error in Module:Mod at line 102: bad argument #2 to 'format' (string expected, got nil).) Critical Strike Multiplier = 150% * (1 + Lua error in Module:Mod at line 102: bad argument #2 to 'format' (string expected, got nil).) Net DPS = 100 + (100 * 9% * (225% - 100%) ) = 100 + (100 * 9% * 125%) = 100 + 11.25 = 111.25
Just some ideas :) -AnnanFay (talk) 22:44, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
