Question about a revision on critical

Preliminary testing has given me 24 crits out of 100 on foxes. Wat. Good thing I plan to do this until my weapon breaks, lol.

Update: Now I'm at 95/300. That's about 31.7%

o-o sounds like rough time. How much dura is the weapon?

Okay I give up on breaking the weapon, but I did 1000 smashes total. Here's my data. I didn't track which smash crit and which didn't. Instead I just kept a tally of how many crits I saw and how many non crits I saw.

• Age: 23
• Level: 68
• Smash Rank: F
• Critical: 72.1%
• Weapon: Claymore (Brand New, Blessed)
• Test Subject: Brown Fox/Young Brown Fox
• Protection: 0
• Crits: 293
• Noncrits: 707

This means my ending effective critical rate was 29.3%, which is closer to 30% than the expected 35%. This can mean different things. It could mean that rank of smash matters (I doubt it though). It could mean that having the reforge messes with the formula (I doubt this even more). Most likely, you just got lucky in the 250 smashes you did, similar to how my first 100 smashes made it seem like I was capped at 25% effective critical rather than 30%.

Interesting...I doubt smash rank would matter. As far as the reforging, it's possible, but could also be rather negligible. You might be right about the getting lucky with smashes. So time to remov it from the page, or leave it?

I guess I'll delete it. At least, until we get better proof.

Perhaps the bonus smash critical ignores protection. Sort of like how a smash enhancement set has the extra damage ignore defensive stats? Not sure if it does, but that's what I heard. Could try smashing the white dragon around a bit.
