bad. Gorgon has very low chance to critically hit, so wasting points to increase that chance from almost never, to once a year is not good.

If a weapons chance to critically hit is 2.5% (many are), and if you put on a Point Strike that increases critical chance by 100%, the weapon now has a 5% chance to critically hit.

Base Crit chance = 2.5%

50% of 2.5 is 1.25, so a 50% Point strike (which isn't possible, but I'm trying to make it easy, lol) would make the new chance: 2.5 + 1.25 = 3.75% to critically hit

100% of 2.5 is 2.5, so 2.5 + 2.5 = 5% .... out of every 100 shots you fire, 5 will critically hit... that's awful....

Now, my snipetron vandal has a 20% base chance to critically hit, so Point Strike at 100% gives me a 40% chance to critically hit.... about every other time I pull the trigger.... =)
