Piercing Spear working as intended?

Alcast · May 2015

The Tooltip says critical damage is increased by 10%.

But in real it is only increased by 5% because it calculates 10% of the 50% dmg multiplier so instead of xDMG*1.6 it only increases it by xDMG*1.55

Same goes for Hemmorage NB passive iirc. Is it working as intended and the tooltip is just misleading or is it a bug?

So the critical portion of the damage is increasedby 10%, correct? Seems written fine to me.

The way I understand it is that my critical damage is increased by 10%. But in real its only 5%

Increases the damage bonus by 10%, the extra 50% damage being the bonus; it's working exactly as its worded.

Additive or multiplicative, the classic mmo formula conundrum.

Does it go from (50%+10%=60%) or is it (50%* 1.1= 55%)? In this case it is the latter, but both ways would make sense with the current wording imo.

The way it should read for clarity is "Multiplies your current critical bonus by 1.1 while an Aedric Spear ability is slotted."
