I am trying to get my head around the Critical Chance calculations. Trying to manually reproduce what we see on the screen when we press "C" or "I" and look at the "Spell Critical" or "Weapon Critical" number.

Time and again the numbers I take from the CP Warfare or the numbers I see on my sets or the numbers I see on my "K" Skills screen do NOT add up.

It appears that my "Critical Chance" numbers on my sets are being applied approximately at TWO THIRDS value. Charitably allowing for rounding issues I can arrive at the number which appears on the "C" or "I" screen but only after I take 2/3 of the stated value.

Is there something I don't understand here?

I accept that compared to most of the people who post in these forums that I am a scrub. I have a lot to learn.

I am assuming that 15,000 at level 50 is the number I should be using as representing "15,000 critical rating points are equivalent to a Critical Chance of 100%".

Additionally, I noticed that "Spell Critical" and "Weapon Critical" start at a base of about 10% on the screen. So any amounts we try to add to our crit chance will be added on top of that 10%. Am I correct?

Yes, I do know that our base crit chance is 10%. But our crit damage starts at 50% but on screen starts at zero. That is, the representation of data is not consistent. But that's a side issue.

For the record I am not getting confused with, nor wanting to discuss "Critical Damage" which we can see from the "Advanced" option of the "C" screen. I am not at all questioning the figures we see there nor am I buying into any 125% debates.

I am hoping someone has noticed this "two thirds" problem or I am hoping someone can show me how wrong my calculations have been! Thank you.
