not sure but i was doing 1 million damage on average with a lightning storm druid. Now im only doing like 100k-200k

pretty sure multiplicative damage is capped at 50% for vulnerable and 150% for crit strike dmg, anything over it becomes additive dmg. so still dmg just not as good, so almost may aswell lean into other dmg buckets once you hit those 50% / 150% caps.

correct me if im wrong anyone.

Overpower is best now

anything over the cap goes into your base damage pool.

As example:
1,000 base damage, 200% crit damage(50% cap), 200% extra damage

Old math: 1,000 x 3 for extra damage. x 3 for crit damage = 9,000 damage.

New math: 1,000 x 4.5 for extra damage, x 1.5 for crit damage = 6,750 damage.

it still helps, just far less than it did before this patch.

Edit: For paragon points, if it still says X-Crit Damage instead of +-Crit damage, it still adds into the bigger pool you want, and you should aim to get it. Gear wise, it falls into the base damage pool.
