Ah, missed that line. So they work like Zoren pretty much exactly. Then I guess no need for further data, they can be useful, but not worth those mats. Price of Acrid, at best - perhaps. Not a penny more. I don't quite understand why do people jeez their shit off from these crits. Do you understand how crits work? Do you think that crit mods come as two extra bonus mods to a crit-dependant weapon? You do realize that they come in place of USUAL damage mods, they simply are worth SOMETHING on a crit-based weapon.

So let's say your DI does 75 damage per hit, 500 damage per crit. It crits once in 3 attacks. In 3 attacks you deal 650 damage.

Take any heavy weapon(or even that new flashy and easy-pissy to get Dakka). Take base damage as 50, multiply by 1.2 - 120 damage per hit. Add two mods with 90 damage(fire\AP), let's say that 90% of 120 is 100. How much damage will it deal per hit? 360? Let's make it fair - 300. 3 hits - 900 damage.

Now it is true that 650 is poison, which is a mild advantage over usual blade, but guess what next?

First - heavy weapon will still crit. DI's crit is it's autoattack. So even with miniscule 5% crit chance - it is an advantage of heavy weapon. Second - we are talking about autoattack only(which is supposed to hit single target only for DI and multiple for heavy weapons). Take a charge hit: 95 DI, 150-200 heavy weapon(90 for Dakka), serrated blade damage(virtually better than poison).Take out one damage mod, add 150% Killing Blow... Guess what, you deal 600 with KB, 1500 with KBPP, well over 3k with damage mods. Think you can do it with 95 base damage? Yes, you can crit it, but the story will be same as with normal attack.

Bottom line - this weapon isn't bad, not at all. But it's not the best, it's not supar awesome diggitykillor. It's not worth it's price by a long shot. It's as good as any heavy weapon and Dakka. It's just another resource sink for mastery farmers, it's absolutely of no worth to average gamer, even a minmaxer - there ARE better(and easier) choices.
