I dont think so. I still dont understand the Pulse properly. Like here you imply that crit multi matters ~= implying that the Pulse can crit? But can it even crit? My testing suggests that normally it cant Ignite. So either it likely cant crit or it has no Fire damage component. Whats the explanation here?

I don't imply, I assert that it can crit. We can see it with our own eyes in the clip that OP posted. One wave takes him to half health, he recovers back to full, then gets 100 to 0'd with the next one. The pulse does not have such a high variancec in damage, and the 60% extra crit multi explains the huge spike in damage OP takes.

So unless you pull up some poedb data that clearly indicates that the pulse isn't able to crit at all and come up with a different explanation for that huge spike in damage, that's that

The pulse is a spell that deals damage of all types similar to the Hive ring if you aren't aware yet
