Warrior Problem?
Any thoughts on this situation?
I put 3 talent points into "Incite" within the protection tree. The talent description reads, "Increases the critical strike chance of your Heroic Strike, Thunder Clap, and Cleave abilities by 15%". After running 3 or 4 days worth of instances (using Recount), I see that I'm getting between 4.8% and 5.3% critical rate with my Thuder Clap ability. The main reason I took Incite was to increase my utility when AOE tanking. What's wrong? |
It could be that your crit rate was incredibly low to begin with, or that Recount just isn't showing correctly considering it's crit rate. Also, is the recount data based on a boss or a trash pull?

I have a feeling it may not be a flat +15%. It may be a +15% of what your crit rate already is. Blizzard is never very clear about which of these each +% abilities are.

When any skill or talent in WoW reads, "...increases the {statistical} chance of {anything} by x%," what that means is that it is increasing the already existing chance by x% of that chance, not directly adding x% to that chance. The property of this phrasing is multiplicative, not additive.
To explain myself, let's say your Thunderclap was at a 5% crit chance before you spec'd into Incite. The math on Thunderclap with Incite would then be: Quote:

Except for hit chance - hit chance talents are additive, not multiplicative.

This is incorrect for this particular talent. Incite does increase your chance to crit by 15% for the listed abilities. A little checking around at Elitist Jerks or TankSpot will confirm this. |
