SF Catalyst question

[Magnis]

<p><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana;">The new catalyst endline  says it improves the crit multiplier by 25%. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana;">For a new wizard with with "0" crit bonus does this mean that  (spellcrit= ((possible)50%*0.25 =0.125%) a spell can crit for 62.5% or does it just add a flat 25% to a possible 50%for a total of 75%? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana;">Sorry if the answer is obvious, just bare with me on this one.  Thank You </span></p>

I believe it is additive so you have 75% bonus damage on a spell crit. This is how it was in TSO, but I am unaware if it has changed in SF.

<p>Yes when you pop that catalyst and you have 0 crit bonus from other sources it will add to your innate 1.5 crit bonus for a total of 1.75 as per Timetravelling's post on mechanics in the general gameplay section.  Crit bonus has no cap, either.</p>

<p>Ah, a good clarification from my end, I was under the assumption that it was a bonus to crit CHANCE... should have re-re-re-read the buff... either way, Catalyst at 30 second recast is also [Removed for Content]. My SK companion hailed me last night over vent with "What is eating your face?" I didn't realize with it being up so much I'd put myself into the orange tossing Comets, Fusions and RoDs.</p>
