which option is better? sniper

I would like to ask you what option do you consider most effective? option "A", sniper with the possibility of critic 45%. Or option "B", critical to 37.5% but with a perk of 20% more damage when it critic. I am a little confused with this, I would appreciate your opinion ... thanks!

 

Really depends ibwould choose more dmg as I would like my crits to hit hard rather than more crit

 

thanks to answer...yes but with numbers which one win? is there were I loose myself XDDD ... so if you shoot 10 times with each combination which one will deal more damage in equal conditions?

 

Okay I have actually calculated this before and there is a very clear answer in terms of damage per second.

Let's use your sniper as an example:

Option A) 100 sniper shots, 45 % crit chance. Normal hit does 761 damage and crit hit does 1902,5 (unlocked Bhurt level 16 and 17 talents for +50 % crit damage). Crit damage is calculated: 761+(761x1,5). Now 100 shots; you will have 45 shots with 1902,5 damage and 55 shots with 761 damage = 127467,5 damage = average 1274,7 damage per shot.

Option B) 100 sniper shots, 37,5 % crit chance. Normal hit does 761 and crit hit does 2054,7 (unlocked Bhurt level 16 and 17 talents). Crit damage is calculated: 761+(761x1,7). Now 100 shots; you will have 37,5 shots with 2054,7 damage and 62,5 shots with 761 damage = 124613,75 damage = average 1246,1 damage per shot.

So if you only want the best possible damage per second, it is best to use all crit chance perks. But the difference is not very big.

 

wow thanks a lot was exactly this!!! I was trying to explain me better but my english is very bad, so now I feel more confuse, because I see a lot of top players using option B, and are players with all the perks. So normally I will always prefer option A, and now with your numbers I have more clear, so why the hell they use option B ¿...? If somebody who use can explain me...
TheAntiSnipe normally I use one, but I have two with all the perks, and now I´m trying with the enfo and I´m not sure the best combination...
thanks again!!

 

Since the overall dps is just slightly lower for Option B, I guess players who chose this route want the bigger lump of damage when it does crit, in order to finish off half dead ship in 1 shot

 

Just yesterday I did tough analysis in Excel.

Here is the dps for the maxed out legendary sniper cannon with different perks:


Red - when the target is burning
White - when it is not

3 critical perks + 1 critical damage perks have result of 131 (lower than 4 critical perks)

Conclusion: Critical damage perks are completely useless
There is almost no difference which perk to use - damage boost or critical chance
Burning perk has some advantage, but it depends on how often your targets are burning
