Affixes/Critical Damage

Critical Damage is a suffix that turns up on Off Hand and Relic. It gives Critical Damage: +4% to +6% at its lowest step, +79% to +105% at its best — and you need item level 116 before the best one can appear at all.

It comes up at weight 4 when the game rolls affixes, never doubles up with another affix that does the same job (critDamage), and it is what puts Cruelty, Brutality, Savagery, Slaughter and Carnage in an item's name — so you might pick up a Wand of Cruelty.

6 Uniques lock it to a fixed number: The Mirrored Page, The Unwitnessed Blade, The Furnace Psalter, The Glassblower's Breath, The Midnight Drop and Rumor of Rain.
