Internal Release & Crit Rate

[NefGP]

So have any of you fancy math folk been able to determine exactly how this skill works?

It says +20% CHR, however there's no clear indication if that's a flat +20 to whatever your existing chance is, or if it's 20% of that chance i.e. if your current crit rate is only 10%, then it rises to 12% with the skill active (I don't think it's the latter but confirmation would be nice).

[Powercow]

It's a 20% boost to your overall chance; if you have 10% crit and you use IR, you have a 30% chance to crit an opponent.

[Ephier]

Powercow is correct. As there are many skills that affect the stats in the status window, take bards dex/acc buff for example. When using IR The numbers in the status window do not change. As a monk we get 30% more chance to crit. You can see/feel the difference.

Hmm. It seems that everything in this game is Additive and not Multiplicative.

Similar to how Steady Hand affects crafting.

If it was multiplicative it would be horrendous!

And ps most damage increases are multiplicative.

I also was convinced you get an extra 30% chance to crit for a long time. But read the tooltip correctly, it says: Increases critical hit rate by 30%. Duration 15s.

Crit hit rate, not critical chance % >_<. If you have 430 crit hit rate.. with an extra 30% it increases to 559. If you have a idk 12% chance to crit, it increases to idk 18 to 22% maybe


You can have a secure crit as Dragoon often with life surge. And you do not crit so often with Internal release to make it for an extra 30% chance.

Crit hit rate = Crit chance.

Crit hit rate = Crit chance.

Wrong. Crit HIT rate =/= Crit chance
