Damage over time cannot crit, so you are effectively scaling only the initial hit portion of Essence Drain, which is a very tiny portion of its damage compared to its damage over time portion.
That's why you usually don't scale with crit if you go ED. You are way better off with other ways of doing it since it already has good supports and plenty of available scalings (Projectile, spell, damage over time, etc) |

Oh well thank you, Danteleet, for letting me know.
Thats, misleading and ackward then, they should just not allow it to crit, and not put a crit chance on it, like blight etc. |

Yeah to be honest when I checked the wiki to confirm what i wrote above, I was surprised to even see a crit stat on the gem, then i remembered about that (insignificant) initial hit.
Cheers! |
