Thanks. Really prompt reply too, lol. In fact I had something else to add that I would have just edited in if you hadn't already answered the original post.

I'm not at all sure how you concluded that people with higher crit chance benefit less from this - it's increasing the damage you deal on each crit, and thus will always be better with higher crit chance than lower. Similarly, since it's a percentage increase to the multiplier, it will always be better with a higher multiplier than a lower one.

Not always.
The most extreme example is if a character had 91% critical chance, and 150% critical multiplier, compared to a character who had 5% critical chance and 1100% critical multiplier.
While the curse always helps someone, whether they have a low or high critical chance or multiplier or both, it does not always help them by the same amount.

In the example, almost tripling the chance of a critical trumps out the fact that it's increasing the critical multiplier by a huge amount. The gains from the multiplier is a certain percent, but the gains from the critical chance increase is a much larger amount.

I concluded this based off math — it's just the way the cookie crumbles when an absolute additive mod is used instead of a multiplier.
Taekvideo's spreadsheet even shows this phenomenon

For someone who specializes in critical attacks, they would have a much much higher critical chance, let's say 33.8% chance, and hence get REDUCED benefit of using this curse compared to if they had a lower critical chance.
