I have a little question on the game mecanics of our new aa.
Allot of our new aa says somthing like this :
"Improve the critical damage of spells by X% "

It is always fun when SOE make spell damage even more coplicated, more work for those of us why find that sorta stuff interesting, especialy when the descreption is kinda complicated.

So does anyone know how this one work ?

Crit modifier by default is 1.3, new bonuses will change that, so +5 crit damage will change modifier to 1.35. That's how I understand it anyway. I'd expect a diminishing return curve though.

If the dev post on it pulls through, they are actually going to simplify and streamline the spell damage routine. They will change it so base damage now *does* affect the +SD damage cap, and also so that the crit multiplier simply multiplies the non-crit +SD damage instead of raising the cap.

I believe that Xanoth is correct about how the crit damage multiplier works. The only other way I could think of it working would be to actually increase the base damage when a spell crits, but that would require a second set of calculations and they are trying to streamline the calcs. This way is best for us - then it gives extra multiplication on *all* non-crit damage, but base, all modifiers and +SD damage as well. Which is how crit should have worked from the start, anyway

Edit: Incidentally, this will both increase the effectiveness of base damage mods, and increase the value of +SD for all spells that are non already +SD capped...

the illusionist line final passive skill has been changed to 5% base dmg and 4% crit dmg, down from 8% base dmg and 4% crit dmg...

Fucking gay. They must be doing that to make up for our OP set ideas.
