Sup, been using your build and im in lvl 15 (not so high yet xD) and i have one question. if i take ''Doom Cast'' that gives 60% crit with spells and the ''bloodthirst'' with 45 % crit. That will land me on 105% crit. What does it do if i get more than that? This was just an example but i hope u get the point. Nice if u would answer me!

Hi, just saw the post sorry for the delay. The % crit is misleading a little because at +105% you actually dont have 100% crit chance. If your normal crit chance was say 5%, then +100% would make you have 10% crit chance.
