helmet increased crit chance but dps decreased

bug 333,356,365

hierophant level 89 with no fancy stuff, but an eclipse staff (which implicit gives 100% increase global crit chance)

I crafted a new helmet, and when i equip it i see crit chance goes form 32.04% to 33.78% , but DPS decreases from 228k to 226k for lightning tendrils, and 108k to 107 for freezing pulse (and nothing else changes)


Faithfull helmet :

Eater : 7% increased mana reservation efficiency of skill
Searing : 29 % increased spell critical strike chance <--- i suspect this one :)
----
+38 to str
66% incr Armour and ES
+ 13 to ES
26% incr ES recharge rate
+17 to mana
5% incr mana reservation essiciency of skills
+ 43 life / 4 mana regen per s

(and i expected an more impressive change in crit chance by crafting 29% increased , and got only 32.04 to 33.78 , that is 1.74 increase, which mean a base crit chance of 6% , or 3% if the eclipse staff is taken into account ? )

I suspect there is a bug somewhere :)
Cheers and many thanks for POE.

Yes, base critical strike chance of lightning tendrils and freezing pulse is 6%, it is written on the gem itself.

100% increase from the staff does not double the chance, but additively with all other sources of increased crit chance.
I did a screenshot, but i have only one after i noticed the bug, and i copied all the information about the helmet

And no matter the increase in crit chance is small, it should cause an _increase_ in DPS, not the opposite, that is the cause of my bug report

If you were comparing it with the current helmet you have equipped the 8% increased cast speed is going to be a bigger dps increase than the crit chance. Makes sense that tooltip dps goes down.

The original helmet did increased crit chance but decreased dps WHEN i equiped it
This looks like a BUG.

other comments are out of topic. (i know they are other things, and i recrafted it)
