I see what you're saying now, I've never seen anyone calculate this not based off of the Codex/Arsenal values, though. Seems like an overly complicated way to go about it imo, why not simply use what is already given to you?

So your top formula makes sense now, yes, but it only has one less value than the page's equation in exchange for needing to explain that the CritMulti value one must use is not the same as the one so conveniently displayed in the Arsenal. I would not say the formula here is, in anyway, overcomplicating your top equation. The subtraction of only a single, already needed, value is trivial. It would seem to be an over-complication to use your equation in fact, as it requires even more explanation and forethought to use properly.

Also, I'm not sure what "magical numbers" you're refering to, I would guess you mean the CritLevels but even you're equation uses them to work...

Also, the pages equation does not use "incorrect" values as a 3.8x CritMulti is the same as a +2.8x CritMulti, it just happens to be that the Arsenal displays it one way over another.
