Guild Wars 2

… is the chart in Gw2Wiki for crit damage multiplier wrong? First thing that tips me off is that if you have zero crit chance, you multiplier still goes up as you increase crit damage … That’s not how the formula provided works.

Average damage = Base damage * ( 1 – Critical Chance ) + Base damage * ( Critical Chance * (Critical Damage + 1.5) )

If crit chance = zero, the term on the right simplifies to:

Average damage = Base damage

This has no dependence on Critical Damage, yet the chart shows it does.

This isn’t a purely academic question … I was wondering what increases for crit chance and damage give the best bang for the buck. This information is part of that answer.

Your base critical chance is 4%.

I wish people would stop making bad uninformative titles to their topics so I didn’t have to click just to see if it was worth reading.

Ah, I was unaware of this. Thank you very much for that. I also didn’t see it in the wiki.
