Critical rate cap

themasquerader29

I've been told critical rate has a "soft cap" of 40%.
I have no idea what it means, can anyone explain this?
Thanks in advance.

Crit rating has a soft cap of 2000 or so. It has nothing to do with the percentage. 2000 is the point where crit rating begins to DR.

Every point of Crit rating add a certain amount of % to your Crit chance consistently. After you reach 40% crit chance, the amount of % contributed by every point of crit rating start to decrease. Just to give an example:

before 40%, let's say each point of crit add +0.1% to your crit chance. After you reach 40%, each point of crit only probably add +0.05%, and thereafter begin to add even less .. +0.03, +0.01, +0.005, etc. (Note all figures are only for purpose of illustration).

This is what is called DR (Diminishing Returns) after 40% (or so-called, "soft-cap").

Ah, thanks for explaining. Never figured there was DR on stats that aren't gear score related.

Stop confusing people. Crit DR has NOTHING to do with the actual percentage you see. It only has to do with the actual amount of crit rating. The percentage is a combination of many static factors plus your crit rating.
