Crit Damage Mechanics

[Bloopan]

How much does critical amplify a damage? Is it the usual 200% like in other games?

[FridgePanic]

Judging from the crits I get, I think it's 150%.

With HW, they added critical damage modification to critical hit rate, which also (as in ARR) modifies critical hit rate. At base crit rate, it's about a 1.45 multiplier, and goes up from there at the same rate as crit rate itself. So adding 1% to your crit rate through gear (buffs don't count) will also add 1% to your crit damage.
