Do [Controlled Destruction] and [Increased Critical Hit Damage] gems cancel eachother?
|
New player here. I'm following the blade vortex guide from Lifting and noticed that these two gems are linked for the damage setup. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1739089
Controlled Destruction Increased Critical Hit Damage One reduces crit chance by 100% (but gives 35% spell damage) and the other buffs the crit damage by 87%. To me it would seem counter intuitive to buff crit damage when you have a 0% crit chance. How do these work together? Last bumped on Dec 7, 2016, 4:21:17 AM

Controlled destruction has reduced crit chance, not less. That build has 365% increased crit chance on tree and 63% on gear, so the net effect after controlled destruction is 328% increased crit chance. The more damage multiplier on controlled destruction is well worth it.
Also, crit chance can normally not go below 5%. A few skills have no crit chance to begin with. Not that stacking crit multiplier with only 5% chance is very effective. Last edited by databeaver#1892 on Dec 7, 2016, 4:21:30 AM

Reduced and Increased modifiers stack additively;
More and Less modifiers stack multiplicatively; Almost all Spell Damage builds want to use Controlled Destruction. If they don't stack crit, it's free damage; crit builds would usually stack around 800% increased critical strike chance to 1600% increased critical strike chance, meaning that 800-100% -> 700% increased or 1600% -> 1500% increased is not a big impact.
