Mathematics question

In terms of Statistics, does it provide more total damage to have :
  • You asked for mathematics, here goes. :)
    Given the fact that non-critical damages are the same in all cases, they are omitted from calculation. So, only critical damages vary. I went on to calculate the necessary natural critical chance to break even between Boba and Sid in a typical Arena battle: 10 attacks which is rounded and easy to calculate.
    The results: depending on the way the chances and extra damage stack, the required natural critical chance to use Boba over Sid is surprisingly between 62,4% and 88,4%. This clearly shows Sidious lead over Boba Fett is a lot better in the long run, especially in a more or less generic team. At the moment, at least.
    Disclaimer: my knowledge of how numbers are being calculated in this game is quite limited. I might be off the real value by some % but not 20-30 for sure.

    EDIT: a surprising result is that IG-88 might be the best leader after all. Not doing very thorough calculations but with a natural critical chance of about 1/3 he's already performing as well as Sidious.
    Still my vote is on Sid, as he's probably the only one out of those 3 you really want to use outside of a dedicated team.
  • I also play diablo 3 and have a lot to calculate with CHC, CHD.
    If I explain it in words:
    The Chance should be good enough, to make use of a very good CHD.
    If your damage is like 50% and your Chance below 16% the damage seems like a waste.

    I would try to combine the toon stats with their spells (CHD, offense up).

    This is a perfect addition to my earlier calculations. Cheers! :)
  • Thank you. I am trying to figure out which number is the critical chance of a character. Is it "Physical critical rating" ? For example on my IG88 i have "Physical critical rating" = 443. Does it mean it is 44,3 % of chance to make critical hit with IG88 ?
