Burnout and Shatter

[thomarr]

When using FFB do these talents stack?

[Arcane]

Why shouldn't they?

Burnout increases the critical damage bonus while Shatter increases crit chance.

So I'mma say yes.

i'm an idiot, i meant ice shards

[mgp84]

Yes they do stack.

[Dorcas]

They do stack. However:

Do this increase the critical strike damage bonus by 150%, or 100% and then 50%?

The difference is:

Assuming it's 150% you would, with a spell that normally hits 100, do 150 crit WITHOUT any talents, and with talents hit 225, since 50*2,5 is 125.

If the damage bonuses instead would be calculated one at a time, it would give you 100 hits on normal spell cast, 150 without talents, and 250 with talents, since 50*2*1,5 is 150.

normal critical bonus: x1.5 dmg [1+0.50]

with ice shards: x2.0 dmg [1+0.50+0.50]

with burnout: x1.75 dmg [1+0.50+0.25]

with ice shards and burnout: x2.25 dmg [1+0.50+0.50+0.25]
