Today's question: Deep wounds and impale

[Concillian]

Small nit on your equation. 25% chance to crit does not mean that 25% of your damage will be from crits.

To give an example, if you have a 25% chance to crit, and your average damage per swing is 100, and 200 on a crit, 4 swings will on average produce 3 hits and 1 crit, which will come out on average to 500 damage, of which 200 damage came from a crit, which is greater then 25% (in fact, 200/500 is 40%).

If it were 4 hits and zero crits it would be 400 damage.

The crit provided 100 damage, not 200, since the 100 damage would have happened anyway (crits replace hits, never misses)

So the crit did not account for 40% of the damage, in actuality it accounted for 20% of the total damage, or 100/500.

add impale to that hit and it is 300 + 220 = 520
20 / 500 = 4% more damage on yellow attacks, or about 2% of total. This is admittedly higher than I had factored. and is about 1% more damage per talent point, which jives with most of the rest of the talent points.
