I think it is a good idea to keep mathematics saved in special articles, and let the main articles just use the conclusions. That way, the "proof" is available if you doubt the conclusion, but you still don't have to read through it all. That's why I created this article. --LarsPensjo 09:41, 15 January 2007 (EST)

One way to verify this data is to try what happens for the extreme cases, like 0% crit and 100% crit. In this case, it seems the result from 100% crit is wrong, as all hits should be of improved crit, not 80%. Is the mathematics wrong? --LarsPensjo 09:59, 15 January 2007 (EST)

The original author did not comment on the contradiction in results, so I made new calculations instead. --LarsPensjo 06:41, 14 February 2007 (EST)

Ah, the first Shadow Bolt is never imp crit and Imp SB only lasts for the next 4 SBs.

Was checking again. I thought that the Imp SB counter did not renew until 4 SBs had been cast. That is the formulas were the way they were. Thanks for fixing. Hmmm, maybe a derivation and a graph? I could add a simple derivation and a graph from Excel.
