3% chance: +1% Critical Chance buff to self for 15 sec (stacks up to 3 times)

When you fire that weapon, there is a 3% chance that you will get a buff. If that buff occurs, you get an increase to your critical hit chance. Whatever your critical hit chance normally is, it's increased by 1% for a duration of 15 seconds.

This 3% chance occurs every time you fire the weapon (it might be every hit, not sure here) so the next time you fire you will again have a 3% chance of gaining another 1%.

It stacks up to 3 times, so it's possible to increase your critical hit chance by 3% total, this would require you to get the buff 3 times inside of 15 seconds.

The 2nd one is the same thing just with a 15% chance instead.

Thank you. I suppose it's not worth to get the chance are too small and it cost about half of a ship price in the exchange.

It's not about the weapons but the details.

Quantum Phase Array
Energy Damage

250' targeting arc
to target: ___ Phaser Damage (___ DPS)
to self: -10 Weapon Power when firing other energy weapons
to target: 2.5% Chance: Disable 1 Subsystem for 5 sec
2.5% Chance: Drain 551 from enemy shields to restore your shields
+2% Critical Chance
+20% Critical Severity

This is what the weapons provide.

All other additional buff are from non weapons, set bonus or other weapons bonus. I was just using the Quantum Phase Array as an example.

I was looking to buy Terenza

The CrtH buff isn't caused by a weapon, anyway, it's caused by the EWOs he has equipped.

That right, she equipped
