I'm a lvl 70 CW (full Renegade) I have the Transcendence Fey but sometimes in dungeons I get 0 damage indicators for like 6-8 seconds, after that i get regular number indicator of damage, is anyone having the same problem?

I can help you out. I'll trade you my Transcendent Vorpal for it. It never gives 0 for damage
I currently only have Perfect Fey and it seems to behave normally 10 seconds up time 10 seconds downtime, nothing unusual about damage.
But I'm talking about a 300-400% DPS increase, so something weird is going on.
Some other classes powers disable the dmg Fey does, thats why you can see you deal 0 dmg. Like HR's Fox, DC's Divine Armor/Astral Shield and some other skills too. So yes, you get HR in your team? Ask him to not use Fox, got a DC? Never stand in their Astral Shield - have fun using your Feytouched!

Maybe it is because of the aoe affect at Transcendent? Suppose to be a 3 target aoe, maybe it is applying the debuff 3 times.
3 times wouldn't be anywhere near the damage reported.
I'm gonna go and say the damage is probably multiplied by itself to reach such high numbers though.

Thoughts?
If you have 100% crit and 200% severity before vorp, it would be a 25% dps increase. So feytouched should be a bit worse. There's the debuffing effect, the aoe and the weapon damage to consider too but I don't think that it's gonna account for a 7% dps difference. Of course, if you are gonna go with more realistic numbers, which is to say 80% overall crit chance (70% crit chance + average chaos nexus crit given), you'll end up at a 20% dps increase for vorp vs 18% for feytouched (assuming that it's not intended to give you 18% three times). Feytouched might be a bit better with that in consideration.
There's also the possibility that the feytouched aoe effect could proc storm spell, but that's speculation there.
Say I know Storm Spell does 40% of my damage (and for argument's sake) it crits 100% of the time. So Vorpal would be a 28% boost to my Storm Spell damage, or (.4 x 28% x 40%) a 11.2% damage boost. The rest of my damage averages about 70% crits, so Vorpal is adding (.7 x 28% x 60%) or 11.8% there. Combined that's a 23% damage boost.
Does that (at least in theory) sound right?
That other 18% is just 18% of weapon damage as physic damage, not an 18% damage boost.
Well, if you want to be technical, you'd need to run a sample without any weapon enchant and then increase the total amount of crit damage by a 50% damage efficiency (assuming a crit is your crit severity as efficiency). Then you'd divide the would be vorpal damage with the damage without vorpal and you'd see your real damage increase.
As for your math formula, I really don't know where you are taking the second 40% number. These numbers do not sound right.
If you have 40% of your damage at 100% crit chance, then it simply removes the averaging at the end (or rather, you multiply by 1).
You'd have with 200% base crit sev:
.4 * 2.5 * 1 = 1
add
.6 * 2.5 * .7 = 1.05
add
.6 * 1 * .3 = 0.18
total of 2.23 efficiency (223%)
Without vorpal:
.4 * 2 * 1 = 0.8
.6 * 2 * .7 = 0.84
.6 * 1 * .3 = 0.18
total of 1.82 (182%)
2.23/1.82 = 1.2252
a dps boost of 22,52% with vorpal. If you are running with less than 200% before vorpal, just reduce the appropriate number (in this scenario, the middle number of the equations) to the corresponding number.
Edit, well, looks like your numbers were correct after all
Maybe once they fix this it will be good as a 18% damage reduction on the enemy seems pretty good, seems to me like the best offensive enchant for tanks.
Just wondering, how are you guys getting 200% crit severity without vorpal?
I think what he means is Base Damage (100%) + Base Severity (75%) + Bonus (25%) for 200% increased damage on a critical hit. Taking into account the base damage is important to make the math work out correctly.
Just shame for Cryptic, that they know that and not fixing it.
