Hi guys, im new here on forums =), anyway, i bought a perfect vorpal for my trickster rougue and to my surprise, it doesn't seem like it's working as it should? what am i doing wrong? i expected a dramatic difference since it says 50% severity boost.

    Are you just observing that it doesn't show up in your character sheet? Because it doesn't, but the enchantment works.

    No, but i took the liberty of testing out my damage for results. It doesn't seem to be much different than before, can anyone shed some light into this ?

    My crits also do not hit for substantially more, although they are hitting for a little more. I changed from lifedrinker to perfect vorpal so I expected to see huge numbers. I wonder if there is a stacking issue with the executioner feat (brutal backstabber? the one that adds 25% severity while in stealth). I'm not a theorycrafter or anything so I haven't test it, however crits went from like 1400 to 1600ish just by eyeballing it on regular hits.

    Uhm.. crit severity only effects critical hits.

    So if you use LB from stealth without p vorp and get 20k, then with p vorp you should get 30k.

    It doesn't effect regular damage. :)

    How to calculate CRT damage increase:

    Normal Hits: 10,000
    75% CRT Severity

    CRT Hits: 17,500

    /w p.Vorpal
    125% CRT Severity (75%+50%)
    CRT Hits: 22,500

    Now lets look at it like this:

    Normal Hits: 5000
    75% CS - Gives you 8750
    125% CS - Gives you 11250

    Not as noticeable with RNG. The higher your base dmg the more noticeable of addition of P.Vorpals.

    hmm okay, i guess if you put it that way it makes sense. I've re-assessed it, it has gone up , maybe i just expected a lot out of it since i came from another game with pretty broken damage multiplier.
