Critical Strikes +50% Enh question

[Wolfboy1]

So i have this scrapper enhancement in one of my powers of course but it is the only one of its IO set in it.  My question is, would making it into Superior quality change anything or can I save the Catalyst?

The Regular and the Superior trigger exactly the same buff... but the Superior has double the chance to activate (4PPM instead of 2PPM).

 

To figure out the exact activation chance you need to plug the numbers (from here) plus your local recharge enhancement % into a PPM calculator. To figure out how it affects your attack chain you really need to spend some time with CoDv2 and a spreadsheet.

Ahh, thats exactly what I was looking for!  Thanks Maelwys, you are a godsend. 😄

In case you're not aware, the buff applied by the Critical Strikes proc doesn't apply to the power it's slotted in. The 50% buff lasts for 3.25s starting 0.5s after the power it's slotted in activates.

The active buff window is a little longer than that in practice.

 

It kicks in on the slotted attack's ATBE (rounded up for Arcanatime) and extends for 4.25 seconds (the 3.25 stated in the description, plus 0.5s from the IO's ATBE, plus another 0.5s from the resulting Set Bonus's ATBE)

It requires understanding which of your attack powers are junk, but this thread has some additional considerations for where to slot your Critical Strikes Proc.
