Chaotic Skyfire Diamond

[Reynala]

Hello.
I want to report about Chaotic Skyfire Diamond:
Second effect from this meta Increase Critical Damage 3% -> Apply Aura: Mod Critical Damage % -doesn't works att all =/
On 2.4.3.:+12 Spell Critical & 3% Increased Critical Damage
Requires at least 2 Blue gems
Simple test on arcane missiles with same spell damage (other spells have random variation damage like "x-y" when missles have one value):
1) With Chaotic Skyfire Diamond : crit 886
2)Without Chaotic Skyfire Diamond: crit 886
Effect 44797 must be similar to mages talent Spell Power(that works btw)!
Fix this plz,cause this meta is the best for casters in pvp.
Ty.

Guess the melee one doesnt work then either ?
Aww, I am a sad panda now.

are you telling that every single crit of yours was 888 without the diamond?
meaning, it wasn't SOMETIMES 884 and 888?

it was ALWAYS 888? i find that hard to believe. Because critical strikes fluctuate between damage obviously.

i know this because i play an enhance shaman, if all of my crits did the same amount of damage every time well that would fucking suck

but they dont.

imo, it works. you're not going to notice a superhuge buff from 3% crit damage. crit damage does not scale from crit chance. it scales from current SP/AP etc.

thats my 2 cents as to disproving your theory

Imperium,read this again =P

Arcane Missles always do the same amount of dmg ;)

Differences to spells with cast time
Currently, all channeling spells (except Arcane Missiles) technically cause periodic damage, which means that they behave like damage over time spells for the most part. As a result, those spells cannot crit and do not cause interruption.

Notes
Unlike other channeled spells, each second (or "tick") is considered a separate direct damage missile which passes through the normal direct damage checks (crit, resistance).
