Critical hit strength vs crit damage

[udav]

What the difference between critical hit strength and critical damage? Until now I've thought that there are crit chance and crit strength only.

Critical hit Damage buffs basically your critical hit strength.
It is an additional layer of damage multiplyer.
(Just open your character page and hoover your mouse above "Critical hit Strenght"

So simplified:


IF you score a critical hit and let us pretend you have 10% Critical Hit damage:
You will deal +10% damage to the enemy in the worst case scenario/or at the minimum


As the tooltip says,
- if your Crit Strenght is between 0 and 45%, you will deal at least 150% damage. Adding on top if it the 10% Crit DMG = 160% bonus DMG.
- If your Crit Strentht is between 46%- 85%: you will deal 200% bonus DMG + 10% Crit Damage = 210% Bonus DMG
- If your Crit Strenght is 86%-115%, you will deal 250% bonus DMG, and get buff to your DMG over time +10% Crit DMG = 260% Bonus DMG.
- And so on.

So basically you should go for Crit Strenght first, and than Crit Damage, since you can get much higher bonus DMG values out from the Crit STR. :)
