This may have been answered already, but what exactly does crit do, and how does it affect our damage output? What does the crit % mean in our stats?

A normal crit increases your dmg by 25%
the crit% is your chance of getting a critical attack, the higher it's, the more chance you have of critting.

It's actually closer to 40% more Dmg, at least for mages :)
But yeah, when your skills or weapon attack 'crits', it means it deals additional Dmg on top of your normal Dmg.

Also unless your a mage and do a crit with lightning you do 250%. (Or is 150%?) For a charged lightning hit

That is if you choose the appropriate upgrade for lightning. And yes, it's 250% :)

I'm not 100% sure because I haven't actually tested it, but seeing that other dot ticks seem to be able to crit, I'd guess nox's dot will most probably crit too.

After testing nox a bit. I really don't think the poison dot crits. With 25% crit and with aimshot get around 60-70% critical. I don't see poison criting.

250% upgrade of lightning and aimed shot is not 250%. They messed up digits. Sadly :(

I've always wondered what the Bonus Damage% meant.
Could it be that Crits=20% normally, and that the Bonus Damage% is a multiplier, so 200% Bonus Damage% would yield a 40% Crit?
Never got a good explanation of what the Bonus Damage% stat means, so that is my guess.
I think its really difficult to tell how the crit really affects your damage output. Mainly because I don't really understand how the bonus damage affects anything.
I mean, a normal aimed shot will generally hit 400-500 damage. A crit aimed shot hits anywhere from 900-2.5k damage for me. So I cannot really get a grasp on how the damage works.

Yeah, I think this is exactly what I'm saying. I should read first.

Thinking about the subject more:
If you do 500 DMG with Aimed Shot and you have the 250% Crit upgrade, and you have 200% Bonus Damage%, theoretically, your total Crit on Aimed Shot could be 3K -
2.50 (for crit upgrade)
x2.00 (for Bonus Damage)
------
5.00 (Total critical multiplier)
x500 (DMG)
------
2500 Total Damage on Crit with Aimed Shot
This might explain why I've seen 2.5 - 3K damage on an Aimed Shot that Crits.
Does this make sense?
