Looking at the first three columns of the first table:


Base crit multiplier of +150% on a 10% crit chance should lead to an "effective damage" or "average damage" of 1.05 times the base damage (10% chance to proc 50% extra damage). The table is instead calculating as 10% chance to proc 150% extra damage. This is incorrect and can be verified in PoB.

Actum

someone more elqouent than me should probably point out the synergy of Actum with this is necklace as it does not suffer from the negative crit chance —Preceding unsigned comment added by Psychotopia (talkcontribs) 13:01, 15 May 2023‎ (UTC)

Incorrect calculations in tables

I believe the math shown in tables is incorrect; the error stems from the difference between "critical strike multiplier" being added as an additional multiple on top of the base damage instead of multiplying base damage.

Looking at the first three columns of the first table:

Base crit multiplier of 150% on a 10% crit chance should lead to an "effective damage" or "average damage" of 1.05 times the base damage (10% chance to proc 50% extra damage). The table is instead calculating as 10% chance to proc 150% extra damage. This is incorrect and can be verified in PoB. SurgeonGeneral (talk) 02:22, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
