Crit Chance

What Crit Chance is

Every ranged blow rolls your Crit Chance. When a blow crits, that blow deals double damage. Melee never crits, so this stat only matters while fighting with the Bow. The chance is a flat percent built from a few sources, then raised by one increased bucket.

Your Crit Chance

It starts at the 5% ranged base. Arrow levels add 0.05% each, Crit Chance Mastery tree nodes add 0.2% each, and Increased Crit Chance Mastery nodes add 10% each. The Increased Crit Chance trinket roll adds 3% to 6% on 1x1 and 3% to 9% on 2x2. All flat sources add together first, then every increased source adds into one bucket applied once. So the chance is (5% + Arrow + tree flats) x (1 + increased%).

What it does to damage

A critical hit doubles the blow. Over a long fight the average uplift equals your chance: 5% Crit Chance adds about 5% average ranged damage, 20% adds about 20%. It rolls on every blow, so short fights swing more than long ones.

Worked examples

The formula again: (5% + Arrow levels x 0.05% + Crit Chance Mastery x 0.2%) x (1 + increased%). It runs through this table.

Where Crit Chance comes from

• Base: every ranged fight starts at 5%.
• Arrow levels: +0.05% each, so Arrow Lv.100 adds 5%.
• Passive tree: Crit Chance Mastery adds 0.2% per node, Increased Crit Chance Mastery adds 10% increased per node.
• Trinkets: the Increased Crit Chance suffix rolls 3% to 6% on 1x1 and 3% to 9% on 2x2. Only the increased roll exists, there is no flat Crit trinket roll.
• Engraver's Punch: the Combat punch paints the Increased Crit Chance roll.
• Axioms: Deadeye halves the base Crit Chance but crits deal x4 damage. Sure Strikes turns crit off while making every blow land.
• Trinket implicits and the Codex: Crit Chance Mastery and Increased Crit Chance Mastery stack there like every other mastery.
