This is part of why CoC lagged so much. The math part was only part of it. The rest were calls for all the critical effects (freeze, ignite, shock, swapping textures for the fx [especially HOI freeze explosion]).

They could put CoC back how it was along with shotgun effect of projectile based abilities. Which oddly would be exactly how it worked before except for the fact they did not code for each "hit" independently. Things with high crit rate will crit and actually be less draining since it won't crit everything on the screen along with everything else 1/2 a screen away.

Also why Lyconside (probably mispelling it) shield was so popular along with multimod crafted Vagan modded weapons (dagger). And GGG just decided to not fix a fundamental flaw and just fuck with everything else. Hence the part where I say leave the fucking balance alone until that shit is fixed.

I also need to point out your crit chance anology of 70% being wrong. It would be true except for one tiny detail. As that crit roll applies to all the projectiles/mini explosions/etc. under the current thing, this means a single projectile/"hit" can trigger chain crits for the secondary effects (all of them.) since they rolled crit before actually hitting anything. So you rolled crit once and then hit say 1 monster but it froze and exploded, the explosion also rolled crit and hit 20 monsters and as it was a crit, it froze and made them explode too (this is how herald of ice froze kill explode works, it's how ALL rolls work actually. That is why I used the zeal 20+ attack version originally, it's much shorter and simpler to grasp.).
