Shotguns - Fragmented Chaos & Critical Power
« on: August 30, 2021, 01:22:52 pm »
Alright,
To anyone still having questions if they work together, as last post from Devs about this was 2 years ago (https://stygiansoftware.com/forums/index.php?topic=4334.0):

Fragmented Chaos (https://www.stygiansoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fragmented_Chaos) DOES NOT work with Critical Power (https://www.stygiansoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=Critical_Power).

I made a video on it, inc. testing, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgZ_mM40uIo

Critical Power still works with Vindicator's 120% Crit Damage bonus, but with around 50% crit chance that is only a 4%(!!) Damage Increase.

In Conclusion - Critical Power is useless on Shotgun Builds.
By the way, also found out, that each pellet rolls damage separately (from the total, divided by pellet count), not just Crit Chance, so it is more likely to average out each shot, instead of noticing it when you roll minimum damage on Vindicator 😆😆 Although, this still happened too often... like those 3, 95% misses in a row, on a single shot fire-arms...

p.s.: Thanks to my viewer Lestat13 for pointing this out and making me look more into this.
Edit: Reuploading the vid, due to errors 😅😅

Thanks for asking the right questions! 😄 I just wish some of the game mechanics weren't so obscure.
