Barb Crit Buff & Powerdash

If you have the increased crit buff from a demon barb, and then use powerdash, does your crit rate jump up the extra 40%, then return to the buffed 5%?

I ask because if you have the buff before you use powerdash, it remains on even after powerdash has ended, so there's no way to tell whether the 40% increase or the 5% increase is acting upon your character.

    I tried it in Nirvana yesterday and the powerdash bonus didn't take effect while the barb crit buff was on. You have to wait for the barb crit buff to end before the powerdash crit buff will work.

    Yeah once you have a crit buff of some kind it cannot be overwritten like other skills.

    One way to test this is:

    As soon as you powerdash, press c to open the character menu, and look at your crit rate. Once powerdash is over (or 8 seconds is up), close it and open it back up, and check again.

    Hmm how strange, whenever I use powerdash, after having a barb use the little crit buff I end up with the icon gone entirely when dash runs out. I'm not sure how you guys are keeping the barb buff tbh, b:chuckle since mine always resets to nothing, just like using condensed thorn will strip the wizzy water buff off.
    I can see what you see not,
    Vision milky, then eyes rot.
    When you turn, they will be gone,
    Whispering their hidden song.
    Then you see what cannot be,
    Shadows move where light should be.
    Out of darkness, out of mind,
    Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.
