Question: Critical Strike (Myth) + Critical Strike (Combat Mastery) + Battle Orders?

[TheBigClown]

Okay, I'm trying to figure out how good myth will be on a barb, I hope you guy's can give me some help as I've stumbled into some thing I do not know what to think of.

3 questions:

What happens if my barb wears a myth runeword armour? First, is the lvl 2 amazon critical strike from the armour affected by the mod +2 to amazon skill levels? Second, does the critical strike lvl from the armour gets affected by my battle order? Third, does the amazon critical strike just gets added to the mastery critical strike percentage? Say, 21% critical strike from mastery + 25% critical strike from the amazon critical strike turns out to be 46% critical strike in total or is there some kind of "wierd" formula?

This is for a lvl 49 pvp barb - so I can't wear fortitude or enigma...

I'm using the damage calculator from inDiablo.de. Is that a reliable calculator? I think I once heard some talk about their calculators being off.

Edit: Btw, what's the lvl req of a 31-40% ed jool? The 31-40 prefix is listed (66) making the lvl req either 49 or 50?

All i know that any +all skills (including battle command if thats what u meant) will increase ur critical strike and that it would stack with your mastery if you are using the correct weapon type.

If u mean a critical strike battle order i think thats wishful thinking lol.

First, is the lvl 2 amazon critical strike from the armour affected by the mod +2 to amazon skill levels?
Oskills are affected by +all skills and +x to the specific skill (like a scepter with +3 to Zeal and Passion gets an Slvl 4 Zeal)

Second, does the critical strike lvl from the armour gets affected by my battle order?
Battle Command, yes.
Third, does the amazon critical strike just gets added to the mastery critical strike percentage? Say, 21% critical strike from mastery + 25% critical strike from the amazon critical strike turns out to be 46% critical strike in total or is there some kind of "wierd" formula?
IIRC they don't stack directly, as they're different stats. That means to calculate the total chance of double dmg you'll need to use probabilities:
Total chance = 1 - (1 - crit_amazonskill/100) * (1 - crit_mastery) * (1 - deadly_strike)

Edit: Btw, what's the lvl req of a 31-40% ed jool? The 31-40 prefix is listed (66) making the lvl req either 49 or 50?
Clvl req of affixes being 3/4 of the Alvl is an old myth, they are independant of eachother. A Ruby Jewel has a Clvl req of 58.

Thx for the information. I also wondered why a jool I found with 3x ed and 7% fhr has lvl req 58. I guess Myth won't be too bad an armour :-)

Clvl req of affixes being 3/4 of the Alvl is an old myth, they are independant of eachother. A Ruby Jewel has a Clvl req of 58.However for a lot of them it works. Affix calculator (http://diablo3.ingame.de/spiel/expansion/itemdb/affix_display.php?lang=en&version=lod&patch=111&type=axe&item=Ancient+Axe&ilvl=all&mlvl=0&qlvl=51)should show the right lvl requirements

Ahh man, I'm ofcourse talking about the Peace runeword. Doh!
