Do +crit items stack?

I've been looking on the forums and couldn't find an answer.  Do +crit items stack?  Meaning, do the two low cost +1.5x and +2.0x crit items stack to increase the % to score any crit?  Also, can they crit off one another?

 

Thanks.

Yes, if they both activate at the same time. Having multiple critical items stacks % chance and damage multiplicatively.

For example, if you have both the Slayer's Wraps and Ashkandor you have a chance of causing a 8x critical if they both activate at the same time, because they both give a 2x and 4x critical, respectively.

Since Slayer's Wraps and Ashkandor both have a 10% chance of causing a critical independently the chance of them causing a 8x critical is 1 in 100 because 0.1 x 0.1 x 100=1.

The chance of you actually getting a critical at all is increased because you have two items that can give it independently as well as together.

It gives you multiple chances on each hit for a crit to happen. Not sure if they can all happen at once though.

Either one, none or both can crit. However I can tell you that the 1.5 crit armor will only gain you about 12 dps if you have like 500 base damage (which will be very late into the game): 500 / 1.5 / 20 = 12.5. There's way better items to increase DPS.

As far as I can see from the lua code (I could be wrong), for every crit increasing ability you have, it gets seperately checked if you crit. If yes, the dmg ammount gets increased by the multiplier. So if you have 3 Items:

dmg=100

15% for Item A Crit, if yes, dmg * 2

10% for Item B Crit, if yes dmg * 3

20% for Item C Crit, if yes dmg * 1.5

So yes, you can have multiple items critting at the same time, and the multipliers all stacking.

Just think... Stack all three crit items and you have the extremely remote chance of a 12x crit.

10, 5, 10 are the percentages ingame. So this gives you a triple crit in 0.05% of all hits :)

Last game I one-shotted a TB from almost full health with Ash + slayer gloves. It was a thing of beauty.

I wouldn't suggest trying it. The remains of every 2000th enemy are amazingly difficult to clean up afterwords. :-"

It would be 1 in 2000th if the random number generator was working perfectly.

For Regulus: 2000 crits can be easily done every 10th shot if you have ashkandor. Late game you will have 500+ base damage, if you got Angelic Fury IV. You also get 1000+ every 10th shot having the 2x crit gloves that cost 3300g. Forget the Armor, it sux. Assuming you do 100 shots at 500 dmg with these 2 items, you get....

10 shots with 2000 dmg

10 shots with 1000 dmg

1 shot with 4000 dmg

79 shots with 500 dmg

with averages at 735 dmg a shot!

Of course, that does set you back a good 21k, almost an AFR.

Even more. Usually I sell all to get this, and you only get 80% gold return. However, once you get this, you will almost always win.
