I got a build that would like to have it very much, a goddess scorned build, namely. My normal attacks do crap damage anyway so it doesn't matter at all if they get even crappier, the only way to do some damage with it is crit with a huge multi that triggers ignite.

That Marlenes Fallacy looks like a bad joke. Its big draw is having the highest crit multiplier of any amulet, BUT your non crit attacks will do little damage. Ok well that makes some sense when your crits are so devastating right? Any other downsides?? Oh yeah... Your chance to crit is more than cut in half so you won't be critting very often.

So let me get this straight

1) Crits will be strong

2) Non crits will be weak

3) You won't be critting very often

Edit: To anyone who disagrees go do it and enjoy the -60% LESS crit chance.

Even with 60% less she'd still crit every fourth attack or so, which is more than enough to ignite reliably with decent attack speed. She also uses area-boosted reave so every crit ignites pretty much everything of interest.

I'd still like to have it, as a quirk if nothing else, and even though I agree a nice regular amulet would mean much for her below-average survivability.

Waht about Ice spear? ;) With its great base crit chance and its 600% increased in second form it could still crit often enough with the right build even at 60% less.

Take this example build: Link.
Its survivability should still be OK, double curses allow crit wekness + frostbite for damage, or crit weakness + enfeeble for more survivability (or get a +1 curse unique and use all 3 ;)) and if I did the math correctly this would crit with a chance between 41% (no charges) and 51% (7 charges) in its second form, before we add crit weakness. The 60% less shouldn't affect that curse, because it influence the enemy (enemies have additional chance to receive crits), so the curse adds a flat 9% on lvl 20 => your crit chance for the second form of ice spear would be 50%-60% (depending on charges), which should be more than enough to kill stuff :)
(if still not enough add the crit chance flask)

It's 60% LESS, so your max crit chance is 40% + 9% even if you invest in a gazillion crit node. If you replace it with any 60 crit multi ammy you would see that the dps comes out on top.
