Do fragmented chaos works with critical bonus from shotgun/critical power?

[Stavrophore]

Its pretty important since i don't know whether it would be better to invest specialization in higher crit chance[survival instincts] or into higher crit damage[fragmented chaos]?

Vindicator[20% bonus]+ critical power without spec[20%] + fragmented chaos without spec[250/6p=42%] = 182% criticals
So 10 points into specialization of survival instincts = 10% more chance to inflict critical which means on average 18,2% more damage
On the other hand if critical power don't stack with fragmented chaos[meaning per every fragmented chaos increase you get critical power bonus] but is just additive, then between 250/6 and 350/6 you have 16,67% critical damage increase which means on average 16,67% increase in damage. On the other hand if critical power works with fragmented chaos, it would mean double the increase and 34% damage increase. Specialization could add another 34% increase.

So if anyone is knowledgeable to answer, please tell me how this works.

First off critical power gives 1.5% crit damage for every 1% critical damage over 100%. Therefore if you are just using a vindicator you will have 120% base + (120-100)*1.5 =  150%

I dug this up because I remember reading it a while ago, not sure if still applies or if it was changed. https://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=4334.0

Also I just booted up a shotty character from a few months ago who has both fragmented chaos and crit power, the character info sheet doesn't show any bonus from fragmented chaos at all, so I'm guessing they don't stack.

pssst...

"Critical Power - Base bonus changed to 1% (down from 1.5%) and spec bonus changed to 0.1% (down from 0.15%); I'm not happy with this feat in general. Straight unconditional passive damage boost feats is something I'm going to avoid in the future for sure" from https://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=1566.msg30430#msg30430

Lol oh snap! Thanks.

I hope that's not the change Styg talked about.... just a boring nerf to a boring (but powerful) feat.
