The chains are a DOT (damage over time) effect, so their damage is calculated more rapidly than the numbers on the screen. These numbers are the combined value of several "ticks" of damage. Most DOTs in the game won't show a yellow 'crit' number, because their number isn't a single hit but rather a collection of several hits, but they still benefit from critical damage/chance.
Wow I didn't know that, thank you that actually makes sense.
FYI. I read somewhere that Maximus fire chain does NOT scale with your +fre% damage, you might want to test and confirm that yourself or else you maybe under a false assumption
I have seen its damage go up with more +Fire damage items I get, when I first got it only crit for 1 mil but now I am seeing crits of 3 mil (tics every second)..............im just not completely sure if that's due to slightly better gear or the +fire damage though. All I know is the fire chain is legit, especially for a mobile WW barb.
In one day I got the Bul-Kathos's set, got a socket in both so its a ton of Crit Hit damage and on paper it increases my damage by like 180k. Problem is, I am currently running a heavy +fire damage setup that focuses around my 2H Maximus (the one that increases fire damage and summons a demon with a fire chain which due to the +fire damage does a TON of damage). On paper its lower damage than the two BK weapons but after a few test runs its clear to me that with my current spec the BK weapons don't work as well. SO..........with all of that said, is there a spec out there that has good synergy with the BK weapons (obviously doesnt have to be +fire damage and I actually would prefer +phys)?
Only input I can give you is that besides the top end damage on it, its nothing special. No crit, no max mana, no mana regen, no life %. Good luck though!

I know my gear isnt prime but am I better off using BK set at this point?
