<div></div><p>Hmmm Hopefully they doubled it since spell crits only effect about 50% of our dps ......</p><p>Ok ok ok - so Im an optimist :smileyhappy:</p>

It's going from 12.5% per rank to 1.5% per rank.Right now it is ridiculously overpowering, as rank 8 = 100% = you always crit, on every single spell.After the adjustment, it'll be 12% at rank 8 - still a nice boost, but not ridiculous like it is now.<div></div>

<div></div><p>Ahh, I had always interpreted the 100% increase as doubling our chance to crit.</p><p>Say we innately crit 8% of the time, with rank 8 in Wild Channeling we would crit 16% of the time.</p><p>Well I can handle +12% chance to crit :smileyhappy:</p>

<div></div>I knew the 12.5 in rank one had to be a bug. Just sucks I never got a chance to use it.

So with how it really works, +100% = 102% crit (or whatever) whereas now it'd go +12%, so 14% (if 2% is innate).</span></div>

<div>When this AA was maxed out it did cause you to crit 100% of the time.  This is the reason they are changing it.  I assume the next percentage will function in the same manner.</div>
