critical and deadly do no stack, anything over 100% is useless, and they share diminishing returns so 70% cs + 50% ds around 100% chance to deal double damage.

...
wait
so you can achieve 400 damage in my example right.

no.
50% crit + 50% deadly = 75% chance to double damage

it calculates one... then the next

no... you wil only do 200 dmg...
but the 200 dmg will come out more often

oh.
so if I have life 70% critical strike, its flat out 70% chance to do double damage?
and basically having deadly strike is pretty much useless because 70% is very good?

not useless ofc... but diminished... like for example... 30 frw + 25 dex > 10% crit (highlords)

however... deadly is still good 2 go

critical strike = deadly strike. They are the same thing but they are calculated differently when adding the 2. Example if you got 90% critical strike and 10% deadly strike you will have around a 95% chance to get a critical strike, since deadly strike isnt added to critical strike in a linear fashion.

90 crit + 10 deadly = 91% chance

My zon will have 73% critical strike, and I can potentially add 15% or 50% deadly strike if i switch my cats eye to highlords

what should i go with?
