Currently in the Notes section: "While the Redeemer has a very low listed Status and Critical Chance, the shotgun blast calculates the chances for both individually for each pellet, thus making the weapon's actual Status and Critical Chance with its ranged charged attack much higher than listed."

I have been trying to verify this, but all my tests indicate that the crit or status proc is NOT calculated for each pellet individually, but for the shot as a whole.

If the crit rate were calculated for each pellet individually at 5% per pellet, then the crit chance would be ~40%, which would mean that 2 out of every 5 shots would crit. This is not the case; on the average 1 out of every 20 shots crits, which matches the 5% crit rate.

Similarly, if the status rate were calculated for each pellet individually at 5% per pellet, then the status chance would be ~65%, which would mean that 13 out of every 20 shots would proc a status effect. This is not the case; on the average 1 out of every 10 shots procs a status effect, which matches the 10% status rate.

I think this note needs to be changed.
