Questions on Crit Chance

Hi better players,

Can some one explain to me why my crit chance in the tooltip of the skills is so low?

I used this guide https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/walking-calamity-shaman-build-guide

Part of the guide, you take a lot of crit chance nodes on the tree. But even with that, when I look at the tooltip in game, it shows Crit Chance 12%.

My build is https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/5d1p03qz.

I am confused, is my crti chance 12% or 140% as I see in PoB?

Help pls

"Increased" crit chance is calculated from base. So if you have +140% increased crit chance and your weapon has base 5%, its 5% x 2,4 = 12%.

yes thats why if u wanna get high overall crit chance, its best if ur base weapon has the crit mod that increase the base crit chance. cheers
