[Stats and How They Work]

Can you explain how willpower affects crit? You said that the bonuses from willpower just stack on top of the bonuses from other stats, but then you said crit won't go over 30%. How does that work if willpower does not affect the DR curves of other stats?

 

Edit: I just reread the first post again. Is the benefit of willpower linear and crit just capped at 30%?

 

Thanks

 

From what I understand your total crit chance isn't capped, but the amount of crit chance you can get from willpower and crit rating are separately capped at 30%. The benefit to crit chance of willpower is not linear, but at current realistic values of willpower it is so close to being linear that you can probably ignore the diminishing returns unless you are getting into very intense theorycrafting.

[Stats and How They Work]

For Surge rating.. when you say limits at 50%, do you mean mean the bonus limit or overall (base+bonus)? I'm currently at 79.94% ..

 

Same for crit rating, does that 30% mean the bonus amount or overall?

 

I'm pretty sure the OP means that the bonus is limited to 50% Crit bonus damage starts at 50% and the cap for aditional bonus damage is 50%, so if you stacked as much surge as possible you'd end up with just under 100% in total because you can never quite reach the cap.

 

The cap is just for Crit Rating, which is one of several things than can effect your total Crit Chance. Your total Crit Cahnce is calculated as follows:

 

5% base + X% based on your Willpower (capped at 30%) + X% based on your Crit Rating (capped at 30%) + Crit chance granted by skills or buffs.

 

A rough example from what I remember of my own stats (can't log in right now):

5% base crit chance

10% crit chance from having 1500 willpower

13% crit chance from a crit rating of 350

5% crit chance from skills

 

Total crit chance is approximately 32%. If an operative comes along and casts their 5% buff this increases to 37%. The only parts that are capped are the contributions from crit rating and willpower.
