So, will critical damage mod sets now be useless?

So I've been saying all along there is some error in CrazyDroid's reasoning.
My formula is based around the crit damage set's % increase on crits alone, and figuring it to get 100% of that increase at 100% crit, and 1% of that increase at 1% crit.

CrazyDroid is using the formula: =(((1-(A1/100))+(A1/100*2.22))/((1-(A1/100))+(A1/100*1.92))-1)*100 to determine the % offense increase. This is copied from an excel spreadsheet. This formula was placed in cell B1. Cell A1 only had =ROW(A1) in so doing I could drag cell A1 all the way down and have it list 1-100. I could then drag cell B1 down and have it use the 1-100 values. In so doing I had it give the % offense increase the Crit damage set gives for each 1% crit chance you get using crazydroid's formula.

These are the values it gave me:

Here is a graph of it:


Does this seem reasonable to anybody here? Because it doesn't to me.
@ImYourHuckleberry @crzydroid In my formula, the crit damage set also has a 15.625% increase at 100%, but only a 7.8125% increase at 50% crit. 50% crit should only be a 50% damage increase compared to the maximum. CrzyDroid's formula is giving it 2/3 of it's maximum damage increase at 50% crit chance. Well that would certainly make 75% look like 50% wouldn't it? But I wouldn't call it accurate. The value of the crit damage set should be directly proportional to crit chance. It is with my formula, it is not with CrzyDroid's. The fact that the line on his graph is not straight shows that it is producing skewed results.

Compare it with a graph of % damage increase using my formula which gives the values below:

See how dead straight it is? If Crit damage can only be increased on crits, then the % increase must be directly proportional to the crit chance %... ie. a straight line. The fact that mine is straight and CrzyDroid's is curved shows that his method is somehow flawed.


No, the proper formula for calculating crit damage increase is (Crit damage with set/ crit damage without set) * crit chance. Other factors will only skew your results.

My accurate formula to compare is:
(1-physical damage with offense set/physical damage without offense set)/(1-crit damage with set/crit damage without set) = crit chance breakpoint.

It's simple, and it actually bases the crit damage increase off of the crit chance breakpoint instead of... whatever crzydroid's is using.


Crzydroid's formula worked pretty well for determining the offense set's value, but it didn't work well at all for determining the crit damage set's value, mainly because it included non-crits in the equation.
