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!--Syrasha (talk) 15:44, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

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 + Increased Critical Strike Chance)
   Net DPS = Base DPS
           + (Base DPS * Critical Strike Chance
               * (0.5 + 1.5 * increased Critical Strike Multiplier) )

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 + Increased Critical Strike Chance)
   Critical Strike Multiplier = 150%                        * (1 + increased Critical Strike Multiplier)
   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 + 50%)
   Critical Strike Multiplier = 150% * (1 + 50%)
   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)

Passive named Mean Streak

I think that skill is no more! Please help or do it! I don't know what or how to do that many changes! =D I wrote it on the passive page.

(I think that Passive no longer exist and has changed to Intense Zeal, in the NW Critical Cluster, and she also gives +10 life gained on kill.)
