How do you read crit rate?

[KinKin25]

So I press P for profile and hoover my mouse over the crit. It says I got 39 percent
Then it says 8 from potions and 4 from books.

Does that mean I got 39 plus 8 plus 4 equals 51 crit rate?

And what about that ten percent from the pet, does that mean then I got 61 percent crit?

And if I got adrenaline I gotta also add the 15 if I got it maxed? So that's 76?

books and potions is a crit stat e.g. +8, it is not additional 8% crit chance

pet is +10% additional crit stat e.g. 10% of 1000 is additional 100 crit stat not 10% crit chance

adrenaline is additional 15% crit chance on max stacks (lvl 3 engravig)

Ah dang my crits pretty bad then, thanks for explaining that, def makes sense. Doh on my part.

if your class skills have a back attack synergy you get additional +10% crit chance on them when using those skills from behind enemies

if you happen to have a gunslinger or deadeye in the party there should be a 100% uptime debuff on enemies that grants another +10% crit chance on them

some other classes like wardancer or gunlancer provide low uptime buff windows of +10-18 crit chance

if you manage to collect 12 awakening lostwind cliff card set you get another +7% crit chance when using it

so 39% is not that bad but not great either, depends on class

You can also get crit rate with Argos set. If you are slowing down you more likely want to build swift or more likely 85-15 or 50/50 stats the neckpiece provides a different stat value.
