Curious Question

So I am playing a Moon Elf GWF dex/crit focused on the blademaster paragon path and instigator tree. Please dont laugh :p at the moment it is alot of fun. However, I noticed the oter day watching Floaties for damage numbers that She appears to crit alot more than she should.

I was wondering if anyone could explain to me if it was my imagination, or if something was going on behidn the scenes. So here goes. I have 3700 gs (with only 600 in crit) 23 dex and with feats and Acording to the Character sheet a crit chance of 26%, i get another 7% from weapon master, and a feat in instigator line gives me 5% damage 5% crit vs foes i have combat advantage against.

However, i would say the majoryut of floating numbers I see, are Orange with lightning bolts, the only time i see yellow is the Rear attack from weapon master strike appears to not Crit so is always yellow, and when i get bonus damage from combat advantage/

All in all, the character should crit around 40% of the time, but in any case she is fighting multiple opponents i would say it is closer to 80%, i rarely see Normal hits just large blobs of crit followed by smaller CA yellow and the Single loan rear shot from weapon master strike.

Anyhow in pve, i run Weapon Master, Steel Blits, Weapon master strike is used almost exlusivly as my At will and i use recuperating strike, Not so fast (gives me 3s of comhat advantage) and Flurish.


So, Visually it looks like the character is a criting monster (altho i think the 40% i think i should have is good) And i was wondering if there was something going on behind the scenes I am not aware of to explain the discrepancy?


On a side note from the above, at least as far as pre-60 toons go she appears to be at the top of the damage curve running instances and Skirmishes, although i know this willc hange later but for now its alot of fun.
