Ice Shards - Does it work correctly?

by Skandale » Sat May 16, 2015 1:34 pm

Hello, with 5/5 Ice Shards, the Critical Strike Damage of all Frost Spells is increased by 100%. The base critical strike damage is 50%, it apparantly does not add to it's base "effect".

My Frostbolt, with my current gear and level, will hit for around 300, a crit without the talent Ice Shards, will crit for around ~450. With said talent, my frostbolt will crit for around ~600.

Should it not crit for around ~750 ?

50% Base Effect + 100% From Talents = 150% Yes ?

No it is a 100% increase, so 100% of 50 is 50. Therefore the math 50+50 = 100% increased damage. The whole idea was to make frost mages to crit twice as hard with frostbolt.
