[quote=The One and Only Poldaran]Does Burnout not work like other talents and is an increase of the bonus, thus 25% of 50%?
I might be a little outdated on how crit multipliers worked. This is what I assumed:
.5 multiplier as base crit damage
.5 * 2 (Ice Shards)
.5 * 2 * 1.25 (Burnout)
.5 * 2 * 1.25 * 1.03 (CSD or equivalent)
= 1.2875 increased crit damage
1.2875 + 1 (base non-crit damage)
= 2.2875 damage on crit
2.2875 * 1.4 (Ignite)
= 3.2025 total crit damage
Though come to think of it, I thought I remembered CDS being multiplied on like Ignite (increased crit damage) rather than like Ice Shards (increased crit multiplier), which would change it to 3.2445 times base damage.
I pretty sure having Spell Power and Ice Shards works like this, so that's how I extrapolated it to Burnout.
.5 x 100% = .5(Ice Shards)
.5 x 50% = .25(Spell Power)
.5 + .5 + .25 = 1.25(Total pre-CSD bonus)
1.25 x 1.03 = 1.29( Total post CSD bonus)
1.29 + 1 = 2.29 Total damage multiplier of crit.
So assuming that, I'm getting:
.5 x 100% = .5(Ice Shards)
.5 x .25 = .125 (Burnout)
.5 + .5 + .125 = 1.125(Total pre-CSD bonus)
1.125 x 1.03 = 1.159 (Total post CSD bonus)
1.159 + 1 = 2.159 (Total multiplier pre-ignite)
2.159 x 1.4 = 3.0226 Total multiplier post ignite
Still a very respectable number, though.
