Sure, 80% of my weapon damage is only around 10K, but hitting multiple targets, at range, several times rapidly, and just watching my AP orb rocket to full? I'll take that.
I assume it's the chance to proc Critical Mass on critical hit.

So, Spectral Blades normally hits 3 times for 22% chance to proc on each target hit for a total of 66% chance to proc on each target-- 88% chance to crit if you use Deep Cuts. However, Electrocute/SOP only has a 25% chance to proc CM on crit against a single target -- 75% at best if it hits 3 targets. (I can definitely see why not to use Thrown Blades now).
