Critical Strike and Critical Severity Calculation

Something seems amiss. Or I'm just missing something. I could use some help.

I have a Half Orc Hunter Ranger...
Critical Strike score is 5,830 which is 14.6%
I have the 3% from the Weapon Mastery Feat
I have 19 WIS, which should be another 9%
That should be a total of 26.2

When I scroll down to Offensive and Healing, it says:
Critical Chance 31.6 (8% + 23.6%) --- what is the 8%?
Modified by Other Attributes: +23.6

That is a difference of 5.4 in my favor...but I don't see anywhere where that could be coming from...
I don't have any companions that grant me CS. I don't have any boons that grant a % increase (I do have the ones that give 400 and 250, but that is reflected in the 5830)...No artifacts that I have grant CS % (just points)

Thoughts?

Also, our base CSev is 75% according to the wikipedia. I'm a Half Orc with the ToD Boon, so I'm showing 85% on my character sheet. However, I have a perfect Vorpal, which should increase this by 50%, so I should be at 135%, right? Why doesn't it show that properly? or does it consider the vorpal to be situational?

    I think the 8% is the base crit chance that all races/classes start with before racial/class/perk/stat/etc. modifiers are added.

    Re: Crit severity from vorpal, I think as it's a weapon enchant it's classed as a 'personal damage buff' and as such it's effect isn't used in calculation until an actual attack is made. Hence not showing on character sheet, still slightly annoying that it doesn't though.

    8% = 5% base crit chance + 3% Weapon Mastery heroic feat

    23.6% = (5,830/400)=~14.6% + 9% INT (19-10).

    Crit Chance = 31.6%
