hello,
still working on the wall-of-math-posting for my evo crit results. meanwhile i finally got rid of another mechanics question mark and that was the following:
"does plain ccm (like found on techs and the bughides unique legs) increase base cc relevant to ccm(caste) calculation, or is it just subtracted from ccm(caste) needed?"
an example i also used for testing:
let's say you have 24 crit in your 2h weapon. now, you have 3 techs and the bughides, a total of 38% plain ccm. that would put you to 33 crit. ccm(caste) needed to cap would be 188. if plain ccm doesnt increase base crit though, you would need 258 ( 296-38 ).
i bought the unique keel sniper (il62), with which i have 24 base crit. i modded 3 10% plain ccm techs and equipped the bughides (using pills xD), then also modded 186 ccm spectral (couldnt find mods to add up to 188 sadly). then i went to cata 15 and sniped occy 500x.
result was: 396 crits in 500 shots. crit niveau was 79.2%.
expected values were 94.38% if plain ccm counts for base cc and 77.76% if not.
i think this result makes it quite clear that plain ccm is an undesirable property.
this also means that the bughides, which were previously already a crap item now should get instantly dismantled like all the other crap uniques
thanks to vampq, lasius, dago and mag-attack for providing some of the mods
